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:
“A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they’ve had since time began.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
“There was a continuous movement now, from Zone Five to Zone Four. And from Zone Four to Zone Three, and from us, up the pass. There was a lightness, a freshness, and an enquiry and a remaking and an inspiration where there had been only stagnation. And closed frontiers. For this is how we all see it now.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
