Aside from 9 Feb 1942 to 30 Sep 1945, when all of the United States, including the Territories of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, was on continuous daylight saving time (DST) due to World War II, Alaska began the annual clock changes in 1969. DST in the United States began on 27 Apr that year. Annette Island was allowed to stay on Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) year-'round when 99.6% of Alaska was consolidated into one time zone, AKST/AKDT or UTC-9/UTC-8, on 30 Oct 1983, but they switched to Alaska Time, including the annual clock changes, in 2016.
