- This page is about centuries as units of time. For other meanings of the term, see Century (disambiguation). For a list of centuries, see Centuries.
A century (From the Latin cent, one hundred) is one hundred consecutive years. - In all dating systems, centuries are essentially numbered ordinally. Thus, the first century of a time frame is "The First Century" and not "Century 0".
- There is considerable disagreement about whether to count the centennial year (e.g. 2000) as the first or last year of a century. This confusion is documented for every centennial year from 1500 onward, and almost certainly arises from the introduction of Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concept of zero to Western Europe in the twelfth century.
The oldest dating systems were regnal, and considered the date as an ordinal, not a cardinal number. Thus, one speaks of the first year of the reign of King John for example. Obviously, the century problem does not arise in such systems. Somewhat later, systems arose dating from the founding of a dynasty, city or religion, and these continued ordinal, rather than cardinal, counting. Thus Ab Urbe Condita counts the Year 1 as the founding of Rome; Anno Domini as the first full year of Jesus Christ's life; the Islamic calendar as the year of the Hejira, so it is also latinized as Anno Hegirae, or "year of the Hejira." In the Gregorian calendar, the calendar that is currently used for most purposes nearly everywhere in the world, the first year is that of the traditionally accepted year of Jesus' birth. There is no "year zero". Accordingly, the first century includes the years 1-100 anno Domini, the first millennium (or period of ten centuries) is the years 1-1000 anno Domini, and so on. More modern systems of dating (such as that of astronomical year numbering, used by astronomers) begin with a year zero. In these cardinal dating systems, i..."

Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile District, looking east toward Downtown Los Angeles Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood, looking east toward the "Millionaire's Mile" Wilshire Boulevard is one of the principal east-west arterial roads in Los Angeles, California, United States. Running 16 miles from Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles to Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, it has been called "the backbone of Los Angeles" and "Fifth Avenue of the West." Many of the post-1956 skyscrapers in Los Angeles are located along Wilshire; indeed, one of the oldest and tallest is known simply as "One Wilshire." Aon Center, at one point Los Angeles's largest tower, is at 707 Wilshire Boulevard in Downtown Los Angeles. One particularly famous stretch of the boulevard between Fairfax and La Brea Avenues is known as the Miracle Mile. The area just to the east of that is referred to as the Park Mile. All of the boulevard is at least four lanes in width, and most of the portion between Hoover Street and Robertson Boulevard has a raised center median. The widest portion is in the business district of central Westwood, where mobs of pedestrians crossing Wilshire at Westwood Boulevard must traverse ten lanes (including two left-turn pockets). This and the nearby intersection of Wilshire and Veteran are among the busiest in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Metro Purple Line subway runs along Wilshire Boulevard from just past the 7th/Figueroa Street stop to its western terminus at Western Avenue in Koreatown; the Hollywood spur splits off from the main line at Vermont Avenue. Considerable discussion is underway to extend the Purple Line to Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, following Wilshire for most of its route: during the 2005 campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles, ultimately victorious candidate Antonio Villaraigosa pledged to begin construction of the Wilshire Boulevard subway. The Metro Rapid line 720 operate..."
