1819

After eighteen eighteen

1819 is the year between 1818 and 1820.

Years are sometimes used as shorthand for events that occurred in them or things produced then: a fine 1819 Bordeaux.

In American history, 1819 marks the Missouri Compromise debates and a major financial panic.

Years function as nouns, adjectives, or temporal markers: the 1819 edition, back in 1819.
