In particular, pre-1970 data in America/Chicago is only intended to be correct for Chicago, IL, so timestamps for the example locations you gave (Duluth, MN; Conway, AR; Port Arthur, TX) may of course differ according to local custom at the time.

Yes. And of course America/Chicago is not the only entry with problems like these. For example, Europe/London is valid only for London (and even then, only for the parts of London that agreed with the L&NW, the Caledonian, and some other railways at the time). If you want to cast horoscopes for Queen Victoria, George Washington, Julius Caesar, Tang of Shang, etc., you'll need to look elsewhere.
