The United States adopts Standard Time Zones, establishing the system still in use today. Before Nov. 18, 1883, there were more than 100 local times across North America. The adoption of a standardized time by the U.S. and Canadian railroads eliminated the confusion and helped to keep trains and people on schedule.
