1870 – Louisa Ann Swain of Laramie, Wyoming becomes the first woman in the United States to cast a vote legally after 1807.
1995 – Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles plays in his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking a record that had stood for 56 years.

As of the start of 1916, a leap year, the Gregorian calendar was 13 days ahead of the Julian calendar, which remained in localized use until 1923.
