1804
 
I would ask that you pause for a moment to consider how old 1804 really is.  In 1804:

 

In the summer of 1805, Shawnee's attacked settlers on Bullock Pen Creek, near the old Lebanon Presbyterian Church in Grant County.  Indians were still a concern.
 
Not only do railroads not reach Gallatin County, the first steam locomotive isn't  invented until 1804 in England.  Nobody in America knows what a railroad is. Ocean going ships are all powered by sails.  It's three more years before Fulton steams up the Hudson River.
 
Thomas Jefferson is just sending out Lewis and Clark, and Abraham Lincoln is not yet born.
 
Darwinism is not yet controversial, because Darwin is not yet born.  Neither is Karl Marx, or Chopin, or Dickens, or Poe, or Mark Twain.
 
  The 1800 Census listed these Kentucky city populations:
Louisville, 359,
Frankfort, 628,
Washington, 570,
Paris, 377
 
Indiana won't be a state for 12 more years.
 
England has not yet abolished slavery.
 
It will be 8 more years until Frances Scott Key writes the words to the Star Spangled Banner.
 
Boone, Grant, Owen, Trimble, Carroll, and Kenton Counties have yet to be formed.
 
Spain still owns Florida.
 
The removal of the Cherokee Nation from Kentucky and Tennessee, the infamous Trail of Tears, won't begin until 1838.
 
Daniel Boone will live for another 16 years.  He dies in Missouri in 1820.
 
And on Napoleon Ridge, Gallatin County, Kentucky, eight brave families  get together to form a church called Ten Mile.
