Before there were time zones, each city kept its own time, with noon being the time when the sun was at its highest point over that city (plus or minus an "equation of time" offset to make each calendar day equal). So in a sense there were as many time zones as there were cities. That became increasingly more difficult to deal with as communication and travel became increasingly faster.
