History
How Anguilla keeps time.
Anguilla has long used Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-04:00) as its standard time. As a British Overseas Territory in the northeastern Caribbean, its timekeeping has generally followed regional norms. Anguilla, like most Caribbean territories, does not observe Daylight Saving Time, providing consistency in its timekeeping practices.
During the 1918 split from the associated statehood with St. Kitts and Nevis (which eventually led to Anguilla's separation in 1980 as a distinct British territory, locally known as the "Revolution"), timekeeping remained largely unchanged and aligned with Atlantic Standard Time.
Did you know?
Things about Anguilla's time.
Anguilla shares its UTC-04:00 offset with many other Caribbean nations and territories, making it convenient for regional coordination. In November 1980, Anguilla was officially separated from St. Kitts and Nevis and re-established as a separate British territory — the only major political change to have any timing implications for the island. However, despite this significant political shift, the timezone itself remained unchanged, continuing with Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-04:00) as it had before.
