11 # From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
13 # This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
14 # in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
15 # Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
16 # the file 'backward'.
18 # Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
19 # pre-1970 timestamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
20 # sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
21 # most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
22 # database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of
23 # the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
24 # replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
25 # differed from other zones only in pre-1970 timestamps.
27 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
28 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
29 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
30 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
32 # This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
33 # assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use
34 # 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file.
37 # From Paul Eggert (2020-04-15):
38 # The following remarks should be incorporated into this table sometime.
39 # Patches in 'git format-patch' format would be welcome.
41 # From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
42 # ... the historical timezone data for those China zones seems to be
43 # incorrect. The transition to GMT+8 date given there for these zones
44 # were 1980 which also contradict the file description that they do
45 # not disagree with normal zone after 1970. According to sources that
46 # have also been cited in the asia file, except Xinjiang and Tibet,
47 # they should have adopted the Beijing Time from around 1949/1950
48 # depends on exactly when each of those cities were taken over by the
49 # communist army. And they should also follow the DST setting of
50 # Asia/Shanghai after that point of time. In addition,
51 # http://gaz.ncl.edu.tw/detail.jsp?sysid=E1091792 the document from
52 # Chongqing Nationalist government say in year 1945 all of China
53 # should adopt summer time due to the war (not sure whether it
54 # continued after WWII ends)(Probably only enforced in area under
55 # their rule at the time?) The Asia/Harbin's 1932 and 1940 entry
56 # should also be incorrect. As per sources recorded at
57 # https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/%E6%BA%80%E5%B7%9E%E5%9B%BD%E3%81%AE%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E6%99%82
58 # , in 1932 Harbin should have adopted UTC+8:00 instead of data
59 # currently listed in the tz database according to official
60 # announcement from Manchuko. And they should have adopted GMT+9 in
61 # 1937 January 1st according to official announcement at the time
62 # being cited on the webpage.

449 # Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
450 # says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
451 # but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
452 # He also writes that the Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
453 # http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html
454 # says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
455 # Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
456 # concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
458 # From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
459 # Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
460 # New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
461 # CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
462 # violation of the official Ontario rules.
464 # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
465 # Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
466 # 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
468 # The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
469 # This means they spend about half the time on central time and
470 # the other half on eastern time.
472 # For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
474 # "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
475 # Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
476 # said. "I don't see any changes happening here."
478 # Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
479 # [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
481 # From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
482 # I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
483 # and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
484 # can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
485 # time keeping since 1952, at least.
487 # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
488 # Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
489 # ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
490 # McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
491 # switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
492 # ended. This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour

545 # From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
546 # There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
547 # that do not currently observe daylight saving:
548 # a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
549 # b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
550 # (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
552 # Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
553 # keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
554 # manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
555 # http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
556 # According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
557 # i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
558 # Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
560 # Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
561 # unknown and will be difficult to ascertain. I e-mailed Tammy a few months
562 # ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess. She said it was just
563 # as plausible as any other date (in June). She also said that after writing
564 # the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
565 # subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
566 # http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
568 # Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
569 # 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
571 # 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
572 # Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
573 # 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
574 # Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
576 # On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
577 # Creston did not change its clocks.
579 # During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
580 # Creston did not oblige.
582 # There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
584 # The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
585 # http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
587 # During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
588 # In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
589 # summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
590 # the change. It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
591 # period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
592 # (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
594 # The transition dates (and times) are guesses.

950 # surrendered, 2 September 1945, Cambodia fell under French rule again and
951 # adopted Hanoi time zone again.
953 # However, on 7 January 1946, Sihanouk and Tioulong managed to obtain a
954 # status of "internal autonomy" from the government of Charles de Gaulle.
955 # Although many fields remained under the administration of the French
956 # (customs, taxes, justice, defence, foreign affairs, etc.), the Cambodian
957 # administration was responsible for religious matters and traditional
958 # celebrations, which included our calendar and time. The time zone was GMT
959 # + 7 and _no_ DST was applied.
961 # After Sihanouk and Tioulong achieved full independence, on 9 November 1953,
962 # GMT + 7 was maintained.
