The United States and Australia are the only countries with individual states that are officially divided among multiple time zones. Canada does not have states, but many of their provinces are divided among multiple time zones as well.

The states with official multiple time zones are...

  • New South Wales, Australia (Eastern & Central)
  • Western Australia, Australia (Central Western & Western)
  • Alaska, USA (Metlakatla, Alaska & Hawaii-Aleutian)
  • Florida, USA (Eastern & Central)
  • Idaho, USA (Mountain & Pacific)
  • Indiana, USA (Eastern & Central)
  • Kansas, USA (Central & Mountain)
  • Kentucky, USA (Eastern & Central)
  • Michigan, USA (Eastern & Central)
  • Nebraska, USA (Central & Mountain)
  • North Dakota, USA (Central & Mountain)
  • Oregon, USA (Mountain & Pacific)
  • South Dakota, USA (Central & Mountain)
  • Tennessee, USA (Eastern & Central)
  • Texas, USA (Central & Mountain)

Unofficially, part of Alaska observes Pacific Time, part of Oklahoma observes Mountain Time, part of Alabama observes Eastern Time, and part of Nevada observes Mountain Time (that last one might be official). There are probably many other unofficial examples.

The State of Arizona exercises their right to opt out of Daylight Saving Time observance. However, the Navaho Nation, which is partly in Arizona, is federal land, and they observe Daylight Saving Time. Therefore, there are two time zones in Arizona from March to November each year.

Each of the Mexican states that observes Daylight Saving Time and that borders the United States (Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Chihuahua & Baja California) has at least one portion that begins and ends Daylight Saving Time on the same dates as the United States instead of together with the rest of Mexico. Therefore, each of those five states has two time zones for an average of 4½ weeks per year.
