Time zones are generally centered on meridians of a longitude that is a multiple of 15º thus making neighbouring time zones one hour apart.
Time zones with a deviation from UTC of a non-integer quantity of hours use the letter of the nearest whole hour-deviated time zone toward UTC, with a star or dagger added on.
Time zones were invented by Sanford Fleming because of the need of railroad companies to have consistent local times between railroad stations.
