20 June 1837 

Victoria became the Queen of the United Kingdom

Queen Victoria, the only child of George III's fourth son, Edward, and sister of Leopold, king of the Belgians, was queen of Great Britain for 63 years—longer than any other British monarch and the longest of any female monarch in history. Victoria's reign saw great cultural expansion and advances in industry, science, communications, and the building of railways and the London Underground. She died in England in 1901.
