Clock history of Mississippi
Mississippi has kept the same clocks as Chicago since at least 1970: tzdata records both under America/Chicago. Clocks have moved for daylight saving time every year since 1970. Before 1970 local practice could differ from Chicago’s, and tzdata does not track it separately; the year-by-year table, which starts with Chicago’s local mean time, is on the America/Chicago page.
