Time in Liberia is given by a single time zone, denoted as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT; UTC+00:00).[1][2] Liberia shares this time zone with several other countries, including fourteen in western Africa where it was formerly known as Western Sahara Standard Time (WSST).[3] Liberia has never observed daylight saving time (DST).[4]

History

[edit]

Liberia first adopted the UTC offset -0:43:08 (called Liberia Mean Time; LMT) as it was the geographical central meridian on which the capital Monrovia was located.[5] The time zone was renamed to Monrovia Mean Time in 1882.[5] In March 1919, the offset was redefined forward by 1 minute and 22 seconds to -0:44:30.[6][7] Liberia adopted Greenwich Mean Time (GMT; UTC+00:00) on 7 January 1972.[8]

IANA time zone database

[edit]

In the IANA time zone database, Liberia is given one zone in the file zone.tab – Africa/Monrovia. "LR" refers to the country's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. Data for Liberia directly from zone.tab of the IANA time zone database; columns marked with * are the columns from zone.tab itself:[5]
