From Imelda H – Mr. Pop – With the Dow at about 9,000 points, my question is – when did it first hit 1,000? Love your web page.

Mr. Pop History – Thank you. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 1,000 for the first time back in November 14, 1972. It closed above 2000 on January 8, 1987. 3000 you ask? April 17, 1991. More? 4000 on February 23, 1995 and on November 20, 1995 – the 5,000 mark. Up and up as the Dow closed above 6000 for the first time on October 14, 1996.
