Difference in Jamaica and Florida time zones

305 views

I live in Trinidad and we are in the same timezone as the eastern united states even though geographically we are relatively far to the east of the eastern US.

How is it then that Jamaica, which is alot closer west to the eastern US in a different time zone (GMT-5) than for instance Florida (GMT-4) and is therefore 1 hour behind?

The question has been answered by others but I thought I would point out that Florida itself has two time zones. Most of it is in the Eastern time zone but most of the panhandle of Florida is in the Central time zone.
