Hello
you may now that TZ zones are only aiming to be good after 1970. If one wants correct tme zone information before 1970, additonal zones are needed. Actually up to 2500 extra zones. The worst are some US states and some Canada provinces, which gave authority up to 1967 to local counties or communes to decide about following daylight savin time or not.
If one leaves out these US states and Canada provinces, I have so far define 239 extra zones.
Question: how can one go about defining boundary lines for these?
The original TZ zones remain, but become much smaller. For example in Germany, in addition to Europe/Berlin appear these extra zones

Seems like an interesting idea. I wouldn't be able to work on this on my own, so would need help from whoever is interested in working on this.
