It’s common for major cities to be located on rivers that are state boundaries, the area around the city uses the same timezone, and one of the states has a timezone boundary in the middle. Indiana has many tz database entries because of this kind of thing.
There are other fun cases like the Navajo Nation in Arizona.
I live in South Dakota, which is one of them—the Mountain/Central timezone boundary within the state follows the Missouri river. (Locals refer to "East River" and "West River" to refer to the two halves of the state. The capital, Pierre, is technically East River, but is right on the banks, almost dead-center.)

For instance, both Sydney and Melbourne both have entries because Victoria and New South Wales have started/ended daylight savings time in various years since 1970 on different dates like in 1990 when in Victoria it ended on March 18 while in New South Wales it ended on March 4.
It's also why Broken Hill has an entry despite being in New South Wales, they're in their own timezone.
