Holidays are a special time for food, fun, and family. Independence Day, also known as July 4th and the Fourth of July, is a time for celebration. While you’re out at the lake, grilling in the backyard, and watching the fireworks with friends and family members, keep safety in mind. We want you to enjoy the day and be safe while traveling and taking part in your community’s celebrations.
In the spirit of the holiday, we came up with some fun facts that you probably didn’t know about Independence Day. Here are some things to ponder:
- There were an estimated 2.5 million people living in the United States of America in July 1776. The nation’s estimated population as of July 4th, 2012 is a staggering 313.9 million.
- The value of fireworks imported from China is well over $223.6 million. The value of U.S. manufacturer’s shipments of fireworks and pyrotechnics is slightly higher than China’s at $231.8 million.
