1800 - 1899 or 1801 - 1900The 19th Century is a span of one hundred years, 99 of which are the years 1801 through 1899. There is considerable heated disagreement as to whether the other year is 1800 or 1900. Technically if the first year was year 1 (as opposed to year zero) then each century should begin in the 01 year and end in the 00 year. However most people discuss centuries as going from 00 to 99, those years having the first two digits in common.

Celebrations for new centuries are normally conducted on January 1 of the '01 year.
