20# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
21# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
22# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
23# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
24# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
25# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
26# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
27# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
28# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
29# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
30
31# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
32# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
33# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
34
35# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
36# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
37# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
38# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
39# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
40# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
41
42# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
43# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
44# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
45# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
46# Not everyone is happy with the results:
47#
48#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
49#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
50#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
51#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
52#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
53#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
54#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
55#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
56#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
57#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

62# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
63# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
64# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
65# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
66#
67# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
68# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
69# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
70# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
71
72# From Arthur David Olson:
73# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
74# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
75# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
76
77# From Arthur David Olson:
78# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
79# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
80
81# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
82# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
83# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
84# An AltaVista search turned up
85# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
86# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
87# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
88# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
89
90# From Joseph Gallant citing
91# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
92# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
93# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
94# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
95# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
96# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
97# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
98# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
99
100# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
101# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
102#
103# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
104# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
105# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
106# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
107# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
108# importance."
109#
110# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
111# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
112# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
113# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
114#
115# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
116
117# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
118# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
119# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
120# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
121# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

274# a few towns on Alabama's "eastern border with Georgia, such as Phenix City
275# in Russell County, Lanett in Chambers County and some towns in Lee County,

390# Alaska
391# AK%sT is the modern abbreviation for -9:00 per USNO.
392#
393# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
394# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
395# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
396# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
397# also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
398# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
399# the Julian calendar.
400#
401# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
402# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
403# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
404# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
405# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
406# it's best to simply use the official transition.

459# In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
460# Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
461# suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967
462# possibly until 1983:
463#
464#  Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
465#  "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
466#  location not on Alaska Standard Time.  The following resolution was
467#  made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson:  Be it
468#  resolved that the City of Unalaska hereby goes to Alaska Standard
469#  Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,
470#  January 14, Alaska Standard Time.)  This resolution was passed with

493
494# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-20):
495#
496# The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the
497# <a href="http://www.dlapr.lib.az.us/links/daylight.htm">
498# Daylight Saving Time web page (2002-01-23)</a> maintained by the
499# Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
500# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
501# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
502# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
503# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
504# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
505# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
506# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
507# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
508# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.

551# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
552# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
553# with the following exceptions:
554#
555# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
556#   Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
557#
558# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
559#
560# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
561#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
562#
563# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
564#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
565#
566# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
567# and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
568# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
569# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
570#
571# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
572# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
573# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.

583# It says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
584# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the
585# Eastern Time Zone to the Central Time Zone.... The effective date of
586# this rule is 2:OO a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the
587# changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
588# Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their
589# clocks twice that night, but this obviously is in error.  The intent
590# is that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.

764# Lake Cumberland LIFE
765# </a> (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
766# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
767# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
768# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
769# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
770# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
771# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
772# location in the Central time zone.
773#
774# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
775# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
776# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
777# (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
778# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
779#
780# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
781# The final rule was published in the
782# <a href="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=2000_register&docid=fr17au00-22">

794# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.

796#	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10

801#
802# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
803# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
804# so omit that change for now.
805# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
806# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
807# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
808# 1999-10-31.  See the
809# <a href="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=1999_register&docid=fr21oc99-15">

811# </a>
812# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
813# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
814# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.

816# Michigan
817#
818# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
819# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
820#
821# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
822# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
823# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
824# that Detroit kept
825#
826#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
827#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
828#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
829#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
830#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
831#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
832#	by city vote.
833#
834# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
835#
836# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
837# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
838# one hour in 1914.''  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
839# info, so omit this for now.
840#

1255
1256# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
1257# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
1258# Toronto.
1259# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
1260# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
1261# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
1262# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
1263
1264# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1265# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
1266# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
1267# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1268# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1269# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1270# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1271# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1272# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
1273# earlier in June).
1274#
1275# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
1276
1277# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
1278# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
1279# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
1280# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
1281# He also writes that the
1282# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
1283# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
1284# </a>
1285# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
1286# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
1287# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
1288#
1289# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
1290# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
1291# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
1292# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
1293# violation of the official Ontario rules.
1294#
1295# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
1296# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
1297# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
1298#
1299#	The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
1300#	This means they spend about half the time on central time and
1301#	the other half on eastern time.
1302#
1303#	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
1304#
1305#	"The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
1306#	Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
1307#	said.  "I don't see any changes happening here."
1308#
1309# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
1310# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
1311
1312# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
1313# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
1314# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
1315# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
1316# time keeping since 1952, at least.
1317
1318# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
1319# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
1320# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
1321# McKinnon sounds more authoritative.  For now, assume that Atikokan
1322# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
1323# ended.  This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
1324# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
1325# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

1372# From David Bryan via Tory Tronrud, Director/Curator,
1373# Thunder Bay Museum (2003-11-12):
1374# There is some suggestion, however, that, by-law or not, daylight
1375# savings time was being practiced in Fort William and Port Arthur
1376# before 1909.... [I]n 1910, the line between the Eastern and Central
1377# Time Zones was permanently moved about two hundred miles west to
1378# include the Thunder Bay area....  When Canada adopted daylight
1379# savings time in 1916, Fort William and Port Arthur, having done so
1380# already, did not change their clocks....  During the Second World
1381# War,... [t]he cities agreed to implement DST during the summer
1382# months for the remainder of the war years.

1465# Saskatchewan
1466
1467# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1468# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1469# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1470# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1471# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1472# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1473# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1474# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1475# time was noted.
1476
1477# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1478# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1479# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1480
1481# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1482# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1483# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1484# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1485# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1486# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1487
1488# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1489# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1490# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1491# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1492# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1493#
1494# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1495# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1496# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1497# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1498#
1499# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1500# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1501# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1502# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1503# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1504# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1505# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1506#
1507# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1508# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1509# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1510# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1511# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1512# since sometime in the 1960s.
1513
1514# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1515# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1516# long and rather painful to read.

1700# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
1701# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
1702
1703# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
1704# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
1705
1706# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
1707# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
1708# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
1709# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
1710# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
1711# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
1712# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
1713# more.

1720# (both dated 2003), and
1721# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
1722# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
1723# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
1724# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
1725# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
1726# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
1727# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
1728#
1729# From Paul Eggert (2005-07-26):
1730# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
1731# daylight saving only during wartime.
1732
1733# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
1734# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
1735# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
1736# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
1737# daylight saving....

1739
1740# From Chris Walton (2007-03-14):
1741# Today I phoned the "hamlet office" to find out what Resolute was doing with
1742# its clocks.
1743#
1744# The individual that answered the phone confirmed that the clocks did not
1745# move at the end of daylight saving on October 29/2006.  He also told me that
1746# the clocks did not move this past weekend (March 11/2007)....
1747
1748# From Chris Walton (2008-11-13):
1749# ...the residents of Resolute believe that they are changing "time zones"
1750# twice a year.  In winter months, local time is qualified with "Eastern
1751# Time" which is really "Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5)".  In summer
1752# months, local time is qualified with "Central Time" which is really
1753# "Central Daylight Time (UTC-5)"...

1822# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1823# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
1824# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
1825# <a href="http://www.cddhcu.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/">
1826# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
1827# </a>.
1828#
1829# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
1830# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
1831# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
1832# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
1833# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
1834# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
1835
1836# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
1837# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
1838# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
1839# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
1840# the relevant documents.
1841
1842# From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
1843# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
1844# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
1845#
1846# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
1847#
1848# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
1849# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
1850#
1851# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
1852#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
1853#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
1854#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
1855#
1856# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
1857#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
1858#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
1859#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
1860#    General:   GMT+5
1861#
1862# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
1863#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
1864#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
1865#    General:   GMT+6
1866#
1867# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

1877# The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times

1879
1880# From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
1881# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
1882# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
1883# savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of
1884# Arizona year round.
1885
1886# From Jesper Norgaard, translating
1887# <http://www.reforma.com/nacional/articulo/064327/> (2001-01-17):
1888# In Oaxaca, the 55.000 teachers from the Section 22 of the National
1889# Syndicate of Education Workers, refuse to apply daylight saving each
1890# year, so that the more than 10,000 schools work at normal hour the

1907# ... Mexico City Mayor Lopez Obrador "...is threatening to keep

1913# Official statute published by the Energy Department

1922# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
1923# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decreed that
1924#   the Federal District will not adopt DST.

1926# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including

1928#
1929# For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.
1930
1931# From Jesper Norgaard (2001-04-01):
1932# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
1933# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
1934# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
1935# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
1936# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
1937# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
1938# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending

1942
1943# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
1944# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
1945# unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
1946# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
1947# next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
1948# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
1949# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
1950# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.
1951
1952# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
1953# ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted

2052# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
2053# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
2054# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
2055# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
2056# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
2057# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
2058# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
2059# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
2060# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
2061# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
2062# name or contents should be.

2161# From Arthur David Olson (1999-03-29):
2162# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
2163# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
2164# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
2165# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
2166# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
2167# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
2168# sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
2169# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
2170# returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)

2179# For now, let's assume that it's a temporary measure.
2180
2181# From Carlos A. Carnero Delgado (2005-11-12):
2182# This year (just like in 2004-2005) there's no change in time zone

2220# <a href="http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj">
2221# http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj
2222# </a>, a Cuban information station, and heard
2223# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
2224# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
2225
2226# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
2227# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
2228# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):

2235# http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/cuba-starts-dst-march-16.html
2236# </a>
2237#
2238# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
2239# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
2240# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
2241# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
2242# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
2243# change some historic records as well.

2414# Haiti
2415# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
2416# Risto O. Nykanen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
2417# I searched for confirmation, and I found a
2418# <a href="http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc"> press release
2419# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
2420# </a>.  Translated from French, it says:
2421#
2422#  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
2423#   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
2424#   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
2425#   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
2426#   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
2427#
2428#  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
2429#   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
2430#   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
2431#   October 2005.
2432#
2433#  "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
2434#
2435# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
2436# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
2437# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
2438# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
2439# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
2440#
2441# I have found this article about it (in French):
2442# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
2443#
2444# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
