This is kind of the weakness with the IANA time zone classification. This defines time zones as the set of clocks that have shared the same time since 1970, so every time an Indiana county decided it wanted to move from Eastern to Central or vice versa, it got split into its own timezone. It reflects a level of precision that is perhaps greater than Indianans themselves actually keep.
[Also, FWIW, Indiana does observe DST now.]
