On November 18, 1883, America’s railroads began using a standard time system involving four time zones, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific. Within each zone, all clocks were synchronized.

Why Do We Have Time Zones? The expansion of transport and communication during the 19th century created a need for a unified time-keeping system, and time zones were introduced. Before clocks were invented, people kept time using different instruments to observe the Sun’s meridian passing at noon.

The need for continental time zones stemmed directly from the problems of moving passengers and freight over the thousands of miles of rail line that covered North America by the 1880s. Since human beings had first begun keeping track of time, they set their clocks to the local movement of the sun.
