Clock rules in Knoxville

Knoxville keeps EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, unlike most of Tennessee, which uses CST (UTC−6) / CDT (UTC−5) in Nashville and New South Memphis. tzdata describes Knoxville’s zone, America/New_York, as “Eastern (most areas)”.

Local mean solar time at 83.92° W is UTC−5:36, so standard time runs 36 min ahead of the sun: it is highest at about 12:36 PM (an hour later in summer). That is 28 min later than in Washington, on the same clock.

Knoxville has kept the same clocks as New York City since at least 1970; the zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the America/New_York page.
