The division of the US into standard time zones was first done by the American Railway Association in 1883. This system was implemented to create uniformity in timekeeping for the growing railway network across the country.
The American Railway Association divided the country into four time zones in 1883 to establish a standardized timekeeping system for the railroads, as each railroad company had been using its own local time. This helped prevent scheduling errors, reduce accidents, and streamline operations across the expanding railway network.
