I’m afraid ACPK is correct, timezones are quite a bit more complicated than you’re making it out to be.

If you take a peek into the IANA TZ database, you’ll see many, many timezones in play in the US alone. Not all of them are currently relevant (eg Indiana).

A breakdown of timezones by region worldwide can be seen here: http://efele.net/maps/tz/world/

Arizona, for instance, does not follow DST but the Navajo land inside of it does.

This also ignores the fact that many states have been trying to permanently set themselves to DST. This is much more likely to change in the near future than the US adding a new state, so caching such information in the same file could be problematic.

Thank you for this @mshafrir

Is this somewhere existing for the whole world?!

Yes, here.

Looking for exactly this! Thank you @mshafrir

Thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! Do anyone have an idea where I can find the associated cities list?

label: "IL"

This one doesn’t match the rest of the data.

Here is my list with timezones included. Let me know if it needs to be corrected.

@Plazzko That is very thorough, thank you for sharing.

• Would you mind pasting it directly here for easier access for the people of the future and SEO?

@kevbost Sure 👍
