As you can see since the begining (AD or BC) - this land existed and there have been many decades with four prime numbers.

Ofcourse eurocentric american history will claim such pronouncements!! Did the American history start after the land was named "America"?
 
Hello, MINIVANMOM!

Only once in American history has there been a decade in which four of the years were primes?
What are they

I would assme that "American history" began in 1776.
. . Then we can shorten Subhotosh's list.
Code:
  1777*  1783*  1787*  1789*
  1801   1811   1823   1831   1847   1861   1867   1871   1873   1877   1879   1889
  1901   1907   1913   1931   1933   1949   1951   1973   1979   1987   1993   1997   1999
  2003
 
It's a DECADE, Soroban :wink:

And there is one after 1776: 1871 1873 1877 1879 ; it's on your list, Subhotosh
