Daylight Saving Time (DST) was first implemented in the United States on
March 31, 1918. This was during World War I, and the purpose was to
conserve fuel by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the
evening hours. However, it was not universally adopted across the
country at that time and was met with mixed reactions. After the war,
Daylight Saving Time was repealed, but it was reinstated during World
War II and has been observed at various times since then. The start and
end dates of Daylight Saving Time have changed several times over the
years due to legislation and adjustments in policy.
