<div id="ygrps-yiv-410548740">I have never heard of this variation. Out of curiosity, what are the names<br/>
of these California towns that are in different time zones (or remain on<br/>
standard time from Apr-Oct, a la most of AZ) than the area of the state<br/>
surrounding them?<br/>

<br/>
With respect to time zones in the USA, it is permitted here for<br/>
localities to pass laws that change the local time, placing themselves<br/>
as &quot;exclaves&quot; as though they were in the adjacent time zone.  In<br/>
certain places in California (especially in summer time when &quot;daylight<br/>
savings time&quot; is in effect), this can drive you nuts.  You can drive<br/>
through a town, and it&#39;ll be 1PM, where in the surrounding county, in<br/>
the same time zone, it&#39;s 2PM. <br/>
<br/>
When you take the 15-minute intercontinental flight between Gibraltar<br/>
and Tangier, two hours pass due to the peculiarities of the time zones<br/>
used. If you drive from Tangier to Ceuta, times change again.  I don&#39;t<br/>
recall what it was that would happen IF one could go from Ceuta to<br/>
Gibraltar directly, but it was something else again that occurred. <br/>
Only Ceuta-Algeciras was possible, and being that both places are<br/>
Spain, the time zone didn&#39;t change.  If you drive around the bay,<br/>
eastward, and pass into Gibraltar by land, you cross a zone border. <br/>
