Start time:
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, and the thirteen colonies formally broke from Britain — the date Americans celebrate as Independence Day. This page counts from that day, showing how many days and years the United States has existed.
The counter above runs on absolute time and rolls over across years and months. Swap the start to any other historical date for the same live count.
