108th

108th is the ordinal form of the number 108, used to designate a position in a series. It appears in naming conventions across various domains, including government, military, geography, and culture, to identify a specific item within a structured sequence.

In government and politics, ordinal numbering is commonly used for legislative terms and sessions. The United States’ 108th Congress, for example, met from January 3, 2003, to January 3, 2005. Other countries similarly use ordinal numbers to label parliamentary terms, assemblies, or delegations in a given period.

In the military, many armed forces designate formations with ordinal numbers. The 108th designation can refer to a specific unit—such as a regiment, division, wing, or brigade—within a broader organizational framework. The exact unit and its history depend on the country and time period.

In geography and infrastructure, 108th appears in street, neighborhood, and district naming. Streets such as 108th Street or 108th Avenue are common in many cities, reflecting historical, administrative, or urban planning conventions rather than any inherent property of the location.

In culture and other domains, 108th may mark editions of events, rounds of competition, anniversaries, or award cycles, depending on the practices of the organizing body. The term is therefore a generic label used wherever a sequential numbering system is employed.
