What happened on Leap Year Day?

 

45 BC

Emperor Julius Caesar proclaims the last day of February as Leap Year Day, skipping it three out of four years. Back then, February 30th was the last day of the last month of the year, which is why he picked it.

4 AD

Emperor Caesar Augustus corrects a counting error in Leap Years. He also gets the month of August named after him, and steals the last day of February so that August can have 31 days, just like Julius' month. Now February has 29 days in Leap Years. 

1582

Pope Gregory XIII moves the end of the year to December 31st and makes century years Leap Years if they are divisible by 400. (So 2000 is a Leap Year, but 1900 was not.) He moved the end of the year back two months so that Easter would occur in the spring.

1692

The Salem Witch Trials begin on this Leap Day when Tituba, the female Indian servant of the Rev. Samuel Parris, and one Sarah Goode were both arrested and accused of witchcraft.

1964

William S. James, who designed cars for Hupmobile, Studebaker and Ford, and who served as vice president for research and engineering with the Fram Corporation, dies on this day at age 71.

1972

Hank Aaron becomes first baseball player to sign for $200,000 a year.

1984

The following songs top the charts on this Leap Day:

"Jump" - Van Halen

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" - Cyndi Lauper

"Thriller" - Michael Jackson

"Stay Young" - Don Williams
