1891
Nineteenth century date
1891 is the year following 1890 and preceding 1892, in the late nineteenth century.
Like any year, it serves as a temporal marker: built in 1891, the riots of 1891.
Years function as nouns, adjectives, and occasionally verbs: We 1891'd the document (dated it to that year).
