Time in Idaho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Idaho is covered by two time zones, as described below. All locations observe daylight saving time.
The Pacific Time Zone (UTC-08:00, DST UTC-07:00) covers an area roughly coterminous with North Idaho:
- Benewah County
- Bonner County
- Boundary County
- Clearwater County
- Kootenai County
- Latah County
- Lewis County
- Nez Perce County
- Shoshone County
- Portion of Idaho County north of the Salmon River
- The towns of Burgdorf and Warren
The Mountain Time Zone (UTC-07:00, DST UTC-06:00) covers the rest of the state.
History [edit]
The 1918 Standard Time Act put most of Idaho into the Pacific Time Zone – only the very eastern parts were in the Mountain Time Zone.[1]
tz database [edit]
