where does the eastern time zone change in tennessee?

the boundaries of the eastern time zone have moved westward since the interstate commerce commission took over time-zone management from railroads in 1938. for example, the easternmost and northernmost counties in kentucky were added to the zone in the 1940s, and in 1961 most of the state went eastern. in 2000, wayne county, on the tennessee border, switched from central to eastern. in march 2018, the florida legislature passed a bill requesting authorization from congress for year-round daylight saving time, which would effectively put florida on atlantic standard time year-round (except for west of the apalachicola river, which would be on eastern standard time year-round).

pike county asked the usdot to move it from the central time zone to the eastern time zone in 1977; the request was approved. four years later, starke county asked the usdot to move it from the central time zone to the eastern time zone; in this case, however they did not find a sound reason for the move, and declined the request (see and ). but in 1985, the indiana general assembly, in senate concurrent resolution 6 from 1985, asked the usdot to move five counties in southwest indiana (posey, vanderburgh, warrick, spencer, and gibson) from the central time zone to the eastern time zone. they denied the request, finding that the change would not serve the convenience of commerce (see , , and ). by 1986–87, jasper county, along with starke county, which was making a time zone change request for the second time in four years, petitioned the usdot to move them from the central time zone to the eastern time zone in 1987–89. they denied the petitions of both counties (see and ).
