History
Before 1896, Hawaii did not use a standard time zone. On January 8, 1896, the minister of the interior of the Provisional Government of Hawaii made a standard time zone. It was called Hawaiian Standard Time, and it subtracted ten and a half hours from UTC (UTC−10:30). Hawaii started using Hawaiian Standard Time on January 13, 1896, at noon. On May 19, 1947, the Legislature passed a law to change Hawaiian Standard Time to UTC−10:00. Hawaii would start using this new time on June 8, 1947.
In 1966, Congress passed a law called the Uniform Time Act. This law made new time zones for all of the United States. Hawaii was put into the Alaska–Hawaii Time Zone. On March 30, 1967, the Hawaii State Legislature passed a law that said Hawaii would not use daylight saving time. The name of the time zone was changed to "Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone" in 1984.
