Happy Birthday Mr. President!

History


James K. Polk was born on November 2, 1795 in Mecklenburg County, NC, and he was the 11th President of the United States. Historically one of our nation's lesser known presidents, Polk did more in one term than many presidents have done in two terms! Thanks to Polk, America spans "from sea to shining sea!"
