With the passage of the Uniform Time Act in 1966, daylight saving time as we know it today was instituted in the United States. It began on the final Sunday of April and ended on the final Sunday of October.

It was moved in 2005 to start on the first Sunday of November and the second Sunday of March, much like it does now.
