Time Zone History

Gambia adopted permanent GMT reflecting its Atlantic coastal position and British colonial legacy. As Africa's smallest mainland country, Gambia has never observed daylight saving time. GMT facilitates coordination with West African neighbors and UK connection through Commonwealth membership.

The country's unique geography (narrow strip along Gambia River surrounded by Senegal) creates integrated but distinct identity. Tourism along Atlantic beaches drives coastal economy. Traditional wrestling and kora music are culturally significant.
