Divided the United States into time zones
The United States has states in six or seven time zones (depending on the time of the year), territories in two or three additional time zones, and controls uninhabited islands in two other time zones. The total is, therefore, eleven time zones, including nine with inhabited lands.
Six time zones are present in the 48 Contiguous US States and all Canadian provinces. Four are shared between the two countries while two are present only in Canada. If you want to include Alaska, then there are eight time zones (Alaskan and Aleutian). And if including Hawaii, the number stays at eight since Hawaii is on the same time as the Aleutian Islands.
Because the continental united states HAS four time zones.
28 states

Central Pacific Answer: The time zones were actually started with the railroads. The railroads had to be on time and before the universal time zones were initiated, many towns and states, ETC had their own time and railroads had a big problem trying to keep accurate time. The railroads came up with the idea of having 4 time zones for the united states.
