386 # From an email administrator of the City of Fort Pierre, SD (2015-12-21):
387 # Fort Pierre is technically located in the Mountain time zone as is
388 # the rest of Stanley County. Most of Stanley County and Fort Pierre
389 # uses the Central time zone due to doing most of their business in
390 # Pierre so it simplifies schedules. I have lived in Stanley County
391 # all my life and it has been that way since I can remember. (43 years!)

1902 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1903 # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has
1904 # been like Vancouver.
1905 # Dawson Creek uses MST. Much of east BC is like Edmonton.
1906 # Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Creston is like Dawson Creek.

1908 # It seems though that (re: Creston) is not entirely correct:
1909
1910 # From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
1911 # There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
1912 # that do not currently observe daylight saving:
1913 # a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
1914 # b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
1915 # (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
1916
1917 # Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
1918 # keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
1919 # manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
1920 # http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
1921 # According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
1922 # i.e. Creston has been stuck on UTC-7 for 93 years.
1923 # Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
1924
1925 # Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
1926 # unknown and will be difficult to ascertain. I e-mailed Tammy a few months
1927 # ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess. She said it was just
1928 # as plausible as any other date (in June). She also said that after writing
1929 # the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
1930 # subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.

1932
1933 # Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
1934 # 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
1935 # Exact date unknown
1936 # 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
1937 # Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
1938 # 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
1939 # Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
1940 # note 1:
1941 # On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
1942 # Creston did not change its clocks.

374 # From Paul Eggert (2018-01-07):
375 # In 1869 the Chicago Astronomical Society contracted with the city to keep
376 # time. Though delayed by the Great Fire, by 1880 a wire ran from the
377 # Dearborn Observatory (on the University of Chicago campus) to City Hall,
378 # which then sent signals to police and fire stations. However, railroads got
379 # their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory,
380 # the Ann Arbor Observatory, etc., so their clocks did not agree with each
381 # other or with the city's official time. The confusion took some years to
382 # clear up. See:
383 # Moser M. How Chicago gave America its time zones. Chicago. 2018-01-04.
