1933 - March 4 - Franklin D. Roosevelt (1822-1945) becomes 32nd President of the United States - The only President to be elected four times.
In 1932, Roosevelt received the Democratic nomination for president and immediately launched a campaign that brought new spirit to a weary and discouraged nation. He defeated Hoover by a wide margin. His first term was characterized by an unfolding of the New Deal program, with greater benefits for labor, the farmers, and the unemployed, and the progressive estrangement of most of the business community.
At an early stage, Roosevelt became aware of the menace to world peace posed by totalitarian fascism, and from 1937 on he tried to focus public attention on the trend of events in Europe and Asia. As a result, he was widely denounced as a warmonger. He was reelected in 1936 over Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas by the overwhelming electoral margin of 523 to 8, and the gathering international crisis prompted him to run for an unprecedented third term in 1940. He defeated Wendell L. Willkie.

1933 - November 8 – New Deal: U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt unveils the Civil Works Administration, an organization designed to create jobs for more than 4 million of the unemployed.
The Civil Works Administration (CWA) was a short-lived but impactful program established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 in response to the Great Depression. It was designed to rapidly create manual-labor jobs for millions of unemployed workers. The CWA was part of Roosevelt's broader New Deal initiatives aimed at providing relief, recovery, and reform during the economic crisis.
The CWA operated from November 1933 to March 1934 and was headed by Harry L. Hopkins, who later became one of Roosevelt's closest advisors. The program focused on quickly creating jobs, primarily in construction, renovation, and improvement of public buildings, roads, and parks. Projects ranged from building schools and airports to repairing roads and bridges.
The CWA's impact was significant, employing millions of people and injecting much-needed money into the economy. However, it was criticized for its high cost and for being temporary in nature. Despite its short duration, the CWA laid...Read MORE...

1938 - January 3 – The March of Dimes is established by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
'Franklin Delano Roosevelt, an adult victim of polio, founds the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which he later renamed the March of Dimes Foundation, on this day in 1938.

1940 - Great Smoky Mountain National Park dedicated by President Franklin Roosevelt
On September 2, 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt stood amidst the misty peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains to dedicate the newly established Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The park, straddling the border between North Carolina and Tennessee, encompassed over half a million acres of pristine forests, towering mountains, and abundant wildlife.
