Julius Caesar introduced leap years when he reformed the Roman calendar in 46 BCE. His calendar, which is called the Julian calendar, was in use for almost 20 centuries. Beginning in 1582, it was eventually replaced by the Gregorian calendar, which is almost identical to the Julian calendar but is more accurate because it has fewer leap years.

Leap Years are years divisible by four, with two exceptions. 1. "Century" year numbers (divisible evenly by 100) are not leap years. 2. Years divisible evenly by 400 ARE leap years. So years like 1992 and 1996 were leap years. Century years like 1900 or 2100 are NOT leap years. But 2000 was a leap year, and 2400 will be.
How is the Julius Caesar calendar different from ours?
The Julian calendar introduced by Julius Caesar had 365 days per year and 366 EVERY 4 years. This had allowed the calendar to creep out of line with the seasons. The Gregorian calendar we use now has the leap year rule: Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100; the centurial years that are exactly divisible by 400 are still leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year; the year 2000 was a leap year.
