1841
Harrison's inaugural year
1841 is the year following 1840 and preceding 1842.
Like all four-digit years, it functions as a noun designating a specific point in time: The essay was written in 1841.
It can also modify nouns: an 1841 census, the 1841 rebellion.
The article "an" precedes it because the spoken form begins with a vowel sound: an 1841 document.
