World map of current time zones. A time zone is a geographical region in which residents observe the same standard time.Although nominally a new time zone is established every 15 degrees east or west of the prime meridian (meaning a one-hour change in the time), in practice local geographical or political considerations may vary its application.
Historical Texas time zones. Now only the green area follows Mountain Time, the rest follows Central Time. The "Panhandle and Plains" section of Texas is now in the Central Time Zone, but had a two-year period of being in the Mountain Time Zone between 1919 and 1921. [2]
