History of the Average
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the Dow's history is the time it took to reach 1,000 point milestones. When the index was first introduced, it stood at 40.94, and it took roughly 76 years to reach the 1,000 mark. As of this writing, the Dow has not hit the 27,000 mark. https://www.money-zine.com/investing/stocks/history-of-the-dow/
