Try Idaho. I don't know what they do about DST but the south part of
the state is in Mountain time, the northern part in Pacific Time. I
have no clue as to why. The western border runs due N-S so why does
the time zone take a zig?...Perhaps economics as the northern part is
more connected to Washington state economically.

I suspect that on one side of the line is Spokane and the other is Coeur
d'Alene and there is not much in idaho east of Coeur d'Alene.
Several states have 2 time zones and seems that the areas of population
density in adjacent states seem to be the reason.

Yep. El Paso is on a different time zone than the rest of Texas. 'Course El
Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to Houston (and Houston is closer to
Fort Lauderdale than it is to El Paso).
For that matter, Moscow is closer to New York City than it is to
Vladivostok. Of course Russia spans twelve time zones (half the world!).

El Paso is on mountain time because that puts it in sync with Los Cruces MN
and Juarez Mex.

Most likely. There are a few counties in NW Indiana that are on Central time
(the rest of the state is on Eastern) because of their proximity to Chicago.
And back when we didn't observe DST, those counties, plus a few in the
Cincinnati area, *did*, because of the economic connections to those cities.
