If you're got a few million to spare (although they seem to be rather coy about the actual price), you might consider purchasing Head Road 1843, a luxury property in Cape Town, South Africa. (I have yet to discover what the "1843" refers to - its address is 21 Head Road, and it was built in 2011.)

When written in base 48, the decimal number 1844 is equal to the sum of its digits squared, and is the largest such number in that base.

38*48 + 20*1 = 1844
38*38 + 20*20 = 1844

The planet Neptune was discovered on 23 September 1846.

I'm so used to thinking of Crystal Palace as part of south London that it's easy to forget the original Crystal Palace, built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The Republican Party in the US was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists and members of the Whig Party.

Despite often being referred to as the Grand Old Party (or GOP), the Republican Party is not as old as the Democratic Party, which was founded around 1828.
