I'm pretty sure the first place where a zone was standardized to a single time was Iceland in 1837, followed by the U.K. on 1 December 1847.
The U.K. was the first place where the standard time was a multiple of an hour from Greenwich Mean Time, which is logical since the local mean time in Greenwich is GMT (duh), and local mean time in London is just 1¼ minutes from GMT. Several countries had an initial standard time that was the local mean time of the capital city. Liberia was the last country to switch from a UTC offset that was not a multiple of 15 or 20 minutes, in 1972. Today there are still 14 time zones that are not a multiple of an hour from UTC, including three that are not a multiple of a half hour from UTC.
