Presidents Born in March: The Springtime Leaders!

March brings spring, warmer days, and… a small but mighty group of U.S. presidents! Only four presidents were born in March, but they include some of the most colorful and historic figures in American history. Here’s the complete, accurate list of every president born in March, with their exact birth date and a fun kid-friendly fact for each one.
  1. Andrew Jackson – March 15, 1767
    The tough, fiery 7th president who fought duels, loved his nickname “Old Hickory,” and led America through big changes.
    Fun fact for kids: He once killed a man in a duel over an insult about his wife—Jackson was fierce about protecting his family!
  2. John Tyler – March 29, 1790
    The 10th president who became president after William Henry Harrison died just 31 days in office.
    Fun fact: He had 15 children (the most of any president) and lived to be 71—his youngest child was born when he was 70!
  3. Grover Cleveland – March 18, 1837
    The only president to serve two non-consecutive terms (22nd and 24th presidents).
    Fun fact: He got married in the White House at age 49 to 21-year-old Frances Folsom—the only wedding of a sitting president ever!
  4. William Howard Taft – March 15, 1857
    The 27th president and later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (the only person to hold both jobs).
    Fun fact: He was the heaviest president (over 300 pounds) and once got stuck in a White House bathtub—legend says he needed extra men to pull him out!
Quick March Presidents Wrap-Up
  • Two share the same birthday: Jackson and Taft were both born on March 15 (different years, of course).
  • Big personalities: Jackson dueled, Tyler had a huge family, Cleveland made history with his White House wedding, and Taft was famous for his size and smile.
  • March power: These four helped shape early America—wars, expansions, big families, and big laughs!
March may be a short list, but these presidents left giant footprints in history. Which March president would you want to celebrate with—maybe a duel (just kidding!), a giant family party, or a White House wedding cake?
