dec 1, 1889 - America Declared to Be Settled

Description:

In 1890, reporting on the results of the rapid westward expansion of the United States, the head of the U.S. Census announced that the country's settlement had been completed. This marks the end of the westward expansion timeline. Though the westward expansion began with rural farms on the frontier, by 1890, many cities had been established and were quite populated.
