1820s
Third decade, nineteenth century
The 1820s refers to the decade from 1820 to 1829.
Like other decade terms, it functions as both noun and adjective: The 1820s saw the rise of Jacksonian democracy; 1820s fashion featured high waistlines.
The format with an s but no apostrophe is standard; *1820's* is considered incorrect.
