A railroad engineer named Sir Sandford Fleming invented the Standard Time Zones in 1878 but they were not accepted until 1884.
The United States started using standard time zones on November 18, 1883.
There are 4 time zones in the continental US. Alaska and Hawaii each have their own time zone.
Time zones were created by the US railroads as a means of making their published service schedules easier to create and to use.
I think it was during the 1879. Hope it helps!:D If not search it on Wikipedia.

Since there are more then one time zones within Canada and the US, we can't just say "The difference is ______" and give you a straight answer. Canada and the US have different time zones and they were listed. EDIT: Depending on whatever time zone or country (US or CANADA) you are in, the difference should be asked between the two time zones. EXAMPLE: "What is the time difference between Eastern time to Hawaii-Aleutian time?"
The Continental US has 4 time zones. From east to west they are Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones.
