A century is a time span of a 100 years. Since the dating of the calender after the year of the birth of Jesus Christ, we have been using the word century to denote each 100-year period. So from day 1 of 1 A.D. through 100 A.D. was called the first (1st) century. Counting so, the 19th century means the years from 1801 A.D. through 1900 A.D.
