Brahmin term is introduced.

March 20, 1727

In the first issue of New England Weekly Journal, an article by an unknown author satirizes a “Brahmin Club” made up of Harvard graduates who cannot count, an apparent reference to Elisha Cooke Jr. and others who supported establishing a private bank. The first known use of the term “Brahmin” to refer to Bostonians, it pre-dates by more than 100 years its use by Oliver Wendell Holmes, who is commonly attributed with introducing it, in 1860.*
