When Every Town Kept Its Own Time

Before the 1880s, most towns in the United States set their clocks by the sun, so noon in one town could differ by several minutes from noon in the next. This caused little trouble while travel was slow. Trains changed that. A schedule that listed one departure time for a hundred stops made no sense if every stop kept its own time.

Railway companies at first solved the problem on their own, each choosing a reference city. Passengers carried guides with several tables, and a station might display several clocks. In 1883 the companies agreed on four standard time zones, and most towns gradually adopted them, although national law did not make the zones official until 1918.

Some citizens objected. They argued that time belonged to nature, not to railway managers, and that a clock should show the position of the sun. The objection faded as people found that a common time made it easier to meet, trade, and travel.
