We lost an hour. The concept of Daylight Saving Time was first considered back in the 1800s for the purpose of saving fuel during World War I.
The first city in North America to actually start using DST was a place called Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada in 1908. From there it spread to Germany and other countries in Europe, eventually making it's way back to North America where the USA adopted it's use about 10 years later.
If you look at a map of the Great Lakes Region, Thunder Bay Ontario is right at the extreme pointed top of Lake Superior. I've been to Thunder Bay many time before, but it's not exactly what I'd call a global tourist magnet, so don't call your Travel Agent after reading this! 🇨🇦
