February 31 is not part of Gregorian calendar. Under the Gregorian calendar, February contains 28 days, or 29 days for a leap year.

USES OF FEBRUARY 31
February 31, with regard to the modern Western (revised Gregorian) calendar, is an imaginary date. It is sometimes used for example purposes, to make it clear regardless of context that the information being presented is artificial and not real data. February 30 is sometimes used in the same manner.
In this respect, these "dates" are similar to other clearly fictional data used for a similar purpose, such as "John Q. Public".

Happenings at This Day in History
About a year ago I stopped making regular updates to this blog to concentrate on my Namnesia Antidote blog. While that is an ongoing effort, I am starting what should be about a year long effort to revitalize the concept of a "This Day in History" blog. I have decided to leave this blog intact and as-is, using a new "This Day in History 2.0" blog for my expanded and full version. Please feel free to email with your ideas. The two tables below should allow you to find a posting for the "Day in History" you wish to research.
