Time Zone
Most of Crane sits in Martin County. When the rural county voted to switch over to the Central Time Zone, it isolated Crane from the rest of the state, creating a "time island". After a year, the county petitioned the Department of Transportation and a move back to Eastern Time was approved.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or zone:
“You say your own soul supplies you with some sort of an idea or image of God. But at the same time you acknowledge you have, properly speaking, no idea of your own soul. You even affirm that spirits are a sort of beings altogether different from ideas. Consequently that no idea can be like a spirit. We have therefore no idea of any spirit.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
