I have a few more data from the official bulletin for DST begin
or end in Baja California
1964
1967
1969
1972
1973 (already sent)
1974
1975
1976
I do not know whether it is safe to assume that it also applied
in the years where I did not
yet find proof.
The 1974 end of DST contains a reference to an Acuerdo of
1973-dec-20 which I could not find.
It was the winter of the 'oil crisis' if I remember correctly. The
US started DST already on 6-jan-1974.
One might assume that Baja California, which followed US-CA in all these other yours, did the same.
TZ maintains for zone America/Tijuana that there was not DST observed between 1961 and 1975.

A user of our astrology service, born in 1973 in he border town Mexicali claimed that
they observed DST in his town, just like on the other side of the border in California, when he was
born on 30 May 1973.I did a quick newspaper archive research on https://hndm.iib.unam.mx/
and found that
- Título:
- Periódico Oficial del Estado de Baja California Norte
- Fecha:
- 1973-04-20
states clearly that DST was observed from last Sunday in April to last Sunday in October.
This means the the TZ table above is false, at least for 1973.
I assume that the same is the case for several other years.I attach the screenshot for 1973
The page https://hndm.iib.unam.mx/consulta/publicacion/visualizar/558075be7d1e63c9fea1a3b2?pagina=558a34887d1ed64f16a710da&coleccion= should allow to search for other years as well.
I used the keywords hora legal for my search, though do not see that now in the URL.
