Small detail, but actually in 1880 time in Ireland was set at Dublin Mean Time, which was GMT minus twenty five minutes. This lasted until after the 1916 Rising, when it was decided to standardise them to make telegram communication more convenient.

Two points RE: Kiribati 1) It was Dec 30th they skipped, not Dec 31st. 2) The reason was due to trade with trade with Australia but due to administration within the country itself. Kiribati is made up of 3 Island groups, the Gilbert, Phoenix and Line Island. The 1st 2 groups were to the east of the International Date Line, the Line was to the West. Therefore if the Gilbert or Phoenix Island wanted to liase with the Line Islands they could only do so for 4 days of the week due to the International Date Line. On Dec 30th, the Line Islands moved to west of the International Date Line joining the other two Island groups as part of Kiribati. Samoa was the one that moved due to trade with AUS/NZL.

My favorite timezone / DST trivia is about Arizona. Arizona does not observe DST, but the Navajo reservation inside it does. Now here's the kicker: inside the Navajo reservation lies the Hopi reservation which does not observe DST. The cherry on top is that inside the Hopi reservation there is an enclave of the Navajo reservation which does observe DST. So if you would drive from New Mexico (observing DST) to that little Navajo enclave, you would have to switch from DST to non-DST or the other way around 4 times.

Those horizontal lines follow state lines (e.g. the horizontal red line for example follows the border between Queensland, NSW, Southern Australia and the NT).

[@robbymacdonald8212]

It's to do with trade. Broken Hill in NSW does trade with Adelaide which is much closer than Sydney so it follows SA time zones. NT does trade with QLD and is so far north it doesn't recognise daylight savings.

[@Elitist20]

The Central Time Zone is odd enough - it should be GMT +9 (Western is +8 and Eastern is +10) but it's actually +9.30. But in summer South Australia adopts daylight saving (+10.30) while the Northern Territory doesn't. And in the Eastern Time Zone Queensland also doesn't adopt it, while New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania do (+11), giving 5 time zones. And there's also an unofficial 'Central Western Time Zone' (+8.45) around the WA/SA border village of Eucla.

If I recall, I believe I've heard that Arizona's timezone sectioning is even weirder than it first appears. The state does not follow daylight saving. But some native American reservations do. But within those reservations, there are small chunks of land (and I've even heard it's as granular as specific buildings) which are owned by government, thus being state or federal property, thus NOT following daylight saving. So a building is ignoring daylight saving, contained within a small-ish chunk of land that IS following daylight saving, contained within a state that IS NOT following daylight saving, contained within a country that IS following it.

[@madjayhawk]

My favourite - and nearest - time zone oddity is the ferry crossing from Quebec into Newfoundland. St. Barbe in Newfoundland is on UCT-3:30 and Blanc Sablon in Quebec is on UCT-5:00. If you leave Blanc Sablon and head east on the hour and a half ferry ride to St. Barbe you arrive at the same time you left. If you go west you arrive 3 hours after you left on your 1 and a half hour ferry ride.

It the same with 1 hour flight from London to Amsterdam, and its hardly surprising tbh

In South Dakota, the Missouri River forms part of the time zone border between Central and Mountain time. This puts the state capital of Pierre (pronounced "peer") on Mountain Time, whereas the contiguous "sister city" of Fort Pierre is on Central Time. Since a lot of people commute from one part of the metro area to the other, you can imagine how confusing that might be for scheduling events.

Friends of mine had three boys, and to help get them out the house for school on time, the kitchen clock was always set 5 minutes fast. They never told the boys, but eventually they twigged and it became known as Sinderby Time. (That's the name of their village). Even though the boys have all left home for pastures new, they still use Sinderby Time.

Kiribati's shift was also motivated by tourism considerations--the islands extended far to the east of the IDL and thus would have been the first location to enter the new millenium in 2000 (or 2001).

Interesting choice by the mapmaker to have Dawson City as the Yukon's representative on the time zone map. Also, one odd time zone thing heard regularly on CBC Radio and TV is on the lines of "Tonight at 7PM, 7.30 in Newfoundland." Due to the island being only 30 minutes adrift from the Maritimes and Labrador.

And here in Australia we have the Central Time Zone, 30 minutes behind Eastern Time Zone which is also observed in the town of Broken Hill which is New South Wales (eastern Time Zone) but close to the border. Then there is the issue of Daylight Saving Time, which not every state observes, which menas we end up with 5 "zones" in Summer. I think India is also a member of the 30-minute club.

Having been born and raised in Arizona, I have lived this my whole life. The split time zones in the north are because the Navajo tribe are split across multiple states and chose to be on daylight savings and Arizona does not. The insert inside that stays on Arizona time is the Hopi tribe, a different reservation. What you didn’t note is there is actually a Navajo nation tribal island inside the Hopi reservation. So it’s possible to have az time, daylight time, az time and back to daylight time in an hour drive.
