1809
This year marks 2 centuries since 1809, but I think it is of some note what a year it was in terms of people born into this world. Not only was the president I share a birthday with born, but quite a large number of notable people who have made an impact on our world today. Here is just a few:
Louis Braille
Edgar Allan Poe (who's birthday is today!)
Felix Mendelssohn
Abraham Lincoln
Charles Darwin
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Kit Carson
William Gladstone
