Charles F. Dowd (1825-1904) was a co-principal (with his wife Harriet M. Dowd) of the Temple Grove Ladies Seminary in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was the first person to propose multiple time zones for any country, those for the railways of the United States. He did not propose their extension to the entire world. About 1863, he first proposed time zones for United States railways to teenage girls that he was teaching. Wikipedia
