America 250: How The Post covered America

The New York Post is counting down to America’s 250th birthday with a look back at the nation’s — and the paper’s — history. We’re revisiting 250 notable covers and articles from our archives, starting with the very first paper Alexander Hamilton published on Nov. 16, 1801, when it was known as the New-York Evening Post.

Here you’ll find snippets of our inimitable coverage of the biggest historical events from the past two centuries — every day until America’s big bash this summer.

In the Big Apple, 250th birthday events include a flotilla featuring dozens of tall ships from across the globe, a breathtaking Blue Angels flight show, displays of rare historical documents and so much more. The Post will be there to cover cover every historic moment — just as it’s been for 225 years.
