No, I really meant 1790's, that is when Thomas Jefferson brought back the standard Meter from France, a gold bar, which has served as our standard of length ever since. I've seen it with my own eyes at the National Bureau of Standards, now called NIST. There is a very convoluted and long history of not converting to metric. http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/dates.htm
