Charles Dickens publishes the first issue of the Pickwick Papers.
Electric lights illuminate Wabash, Indiana. Electricians install four of Charles F. Brush's 3,000 candlepower lamps atop the courthouse. Once lit they cast a brilliant glow across the city. Because of this, Wabash lays claim to being the first in the world to be entirely lit with electric light. However, historians find the use of the word "first" to lack authenticity or accuracy.
The first daylight saving time begins in the United States. This is where the madness started.
Oklahoma! opens on Broadway. The Rogers and Hammerstein production would run for five years and although it won no awards (none existed at the time) the show was a critical and popular success.
