This was the beginning of the so-called âbaby boom.â In 1947, another 3.8 million babies were born; 3.9 million were born in 1952; and more than 4 million were born every year from 1954 until 1964, when the boom finally tapered off. By then, there were 76.4 million âbaby boomersâ in the United States.

He left office on March 3, 1885 and died of Bright's Disease (a kidney ailment) on November 18, 1886 at the age of 57.
