Rutherford B. Hayes was born on October 4, 1822 in Delaware, OH, and he was the 19th President of the United States. He was elected in the tumultuous Election of 1876, losing the popular vote & eventually being elected by a committee! He helped support the founding of Ohio State University, and quite possibly was the first POTUS to swim in the Pacific Ocean.
