    I can select “New York” or any number of cities in North Dakota or Kentucky or Indiana but there’s nothing in Texas, not even Dallas? I’d really prefer to have my event shown as Texas or CST instead of UTC-3. Feel like the time zone support here is pretty incomplete.

    We use a standard list of timezones provided by PHP, the underlying programming language that powers WordPress:

    For Texas you will either want America/Chicago or America/Denver, depending on which part you are in and if you use Central or Mountain time.

    Side note: North Dakota uses different timezones based on where you are located: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_North_Dakota

    Similarly, there is some notable variation in Kentucky as well:
