Sir Sanford Fleming was a Canadian engineer and inventor best known for his role in the development of the modern time zone system. Born in Scotland in 1827, he immigrated to Canada, where he contributed to the construction of the Canadian railway network. Fleming also proposed the idea of a worldwide standard time at the International Meridian Conference in 1884, which led to the division of the globe into 24 time zones. His efforts significantly influenced global timekeeping practices.
