At A Better Answer, we’re proud of our country. In fact, Independence Day is one of our favorite holidays! Because of this, we’d like to take a moment and celebrate with our fellow Americans by sharing interesting facts related to July 4th, as well as celebrate a little history of our own.

Independence Day Facts

The Fourth of July isn’t just fireworks, burgers and hot dogs — it’s a celebration of history. But how well do you really know this holiday? Here are some interesting Independence Day-related facts from the United States Census Bureau that you might not be aware of:

• Patriot, Ind., (pop. 208) is the only incorporated place in America that has “patriot” in its name
• 2017 marks this year as the 241^st Independence Day
• 5 million people celebrated the first Independence Day in 1776, compared to 325.3 million Americans today
• $311.7 million in fireworks was imported from China in 2015
• $4.4 million in U.S. flags were exported from America in 2015

 That’s a lot of fireworks and flags! But it goes to show how many people appreciate the history of our great nation.
