∙ 10y agoThe first time Maryland switched to Daylight Saving Time was Sunday, March 31, 1918 at 2 AM EST. Maryland, along with the rest of the US east coast, has either switched to or stayed on Daylight Saving Time every year since then. The only years after 1917 in which people on the US east coast did not have to change their clocks were 1943 and 1944. That's because during World War II, in an effort to conserve energy resources for the war effort, Roosevelt had the U.S. on year-'round Daylight Saving Time from February 9, 1942 until September 30, 1945. During those years the time zone in Maryland and the rest of the east coast was EWT, short for Eastern War Time. Likewise, CST became CWT, PST became PWT, etc. On August 14, 1945 EWT was changed to EPT, short for Eastern Peace Time.
