Time Zone History
Haiti observes daylight saving time aligning with North American standards. As the first independent Black republic (1804) and second in the Americas after the USA, Haiti maintained time consistency through turbulent history. The 2010 earthquake devastated infrastructure but time systems were maintained. Time zone reflects Caribbean position and facilitates diaspora coordination with large Haitian communities in US, Canada, and France.

Haitian daily life blends African heritage, French colonial influence, and Vodou spiritual practices in the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. The workday runs 8 AM-5 PM when stable. Creole and French are official languages with Creole dominant. Vodou ceremonies structure some scheduling. Markets are vital economic and social centers. Tap-taps (decorated buses) are iconic transport. Rice and beans are staples. Political instability affects regular patterns. Remittances from diaspora support many families.
