The concept of standardized time and hour-long timezones dates from the mid-1800s, and was a construct of the railways (which needed to publish schedules that'd be valid across long distances). Before then each village or region had its own time. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/invention-of-standard-time-feature https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/invention-...
