About the time in Center
Center runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Around 508 people live in Center, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Center sits at latitude 39.51, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 28m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
