Carter Was the First President Born in a Hospital

Washington Post: “Jimmy Carter was delivered on Oct. 1, 1924, in a 60-bed hospital in Plains. — becoming the first future president to be born in such a setting.”

“A hospital birth may seem unremarkable today — but at the beginning of the 20th century, nearly all childbirths still took place at home, including the majority at the time of Mr. Carter’s birth.”
