Historical Dates, Years, and Times - Timelines for Grade 2 - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a timeline from 1400 to 1800, and four events with their years:

- 1492 — Columbus discovered America
- 1607 — First immigrant settlement in America
- 1630 — City of Boston was founded
- 1773 — Boston Tea Party

The task is to put these events in the right order on the timeline — meaning, we need to arrange them from earliest (left) to latest (right), based on the year.

Step 1: List the years in order from smallest to largest:
- 1492 → earliest
- 1607
- 1630
- 1773 → latest

So the correct historical order is:
1. Columbus discovered America (1492)
2. First immigrant settlement in America (1607)
3. City of Boston was founded (1630)
4. Boston Tea Party (1773)

Now, look at the bottom part of the worksheet. There are four pictures with empty circles next to them. We must draw lines from each picture to its correct spot on the timeline above — but since we’re solving it logically, we just need to match each event to its correct position in time.

The red dot is already placed under “Columbus discovered America” — which matches 1492, so that’s correct.

Now let’s place the others:

- The “First immigrant settlement in America” happened in 1607 → that goes after 1500, before 1630.
- “City of Boston was founded” in 1630 → comes after 1607.
- “Boston Tea Party” in 1773 → happens last, near 1800.

So if we were drawing lines, we’d connect:

→ “First immigrant settlement in America” to the 1607 mark
→ “City of Boston was founded” to the 1630 mark
→ “Boston Tea Party” to the 1773 mark

But since the question asks us to “put the events... in the right order,” and there are circles to fill or lines to draw, the final answer should be the correct sequence of events as they appear chronologically.

Final Answer:
Columbus discovered America → First immigrant settlement in America → City of Boston was founded → Boston Tea Party
