That's actually what it used to be like before time zones. Every town would have its own time. Wouldn't be much of a problem when you had to travel to the next town by foot, horse or cart.

But I think when trains started to become more common they had to synchronise times.

Great, that means I can sell this idea to conservatives (trains = bad).
