Can you name the U.S. cities by its local time (as used in 1880) at 12:00:00 in Washington, D.C.?
- Enter a city in the box below
- Correctly named cities will show up below
- Click any empty Local time or City to answer for that location
- Before standard time was introduced in 1884, each city had legally the time of its own meridian and therefore they differed by some minutes and seconds, not by integer hours like today. This was especially complicated for railway timetables and led eventually to the adoption of standard time.
- All the cities in the quiz were among the 100 most populated, but in 1880, so it's useless to try things like "Miami" or "Las Vegas".
