Indiana has observed daylight savings times (DST) throughout the state.

did not observe daylight savings time. This meant that when daylight savings
time was in effect that the time in College Corner, Indiana (EST) was an hour
behind the time in College Corner, Ohio (EDST).
THE UNION COUNTY
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GYMNASIUM:
The Indiana-Ohio state
line runs down the middle of the 80-year-old school gymnasium. Before daylight
savings time was adopted, this meant that it was possible to launch a long
shot from the Indiana side of the basketball court and it wouldn’t come down
on the other side of the court until an hour later.
During a basketball
game, a single player in a single game can score points in both Indiana and
Ohio.
