204th

204th is the ordinal form of the number 204 and is used as a designation in various naming systems. It is commonly seen in military, administrative, and infrastructural contexts, where numbers are used to identify units, districts, routes, or other organized entities in the order they were established or cataloged. Because different countries maintain independent lineages and numbering schemes, the same ordinal can refer to different things in different places and times.

In military use, the designation 204th has been applied to multiple formations across nations and eras, including divisions, regiments, battalions, and air or naval units. The exact identity, history, and lineage of a 204th unit depend on the country and period in question, making the designation non-unique without additional context.

In calendrical terms, the 204th day of the year marks a specific date: in common (non-leap) years it falls on July 23, and in leap years it falls on July 22. This usage is independent of any organizational naming and is simply a way to reference a day within the annual cycle.

Other uses include road or route numbers, district or administrative designations, and various cataloging or numbering schemes in local or organizational contexts. The meaning of 204th thus varies with context, and it does not point to a single universal reference. See also 204 (number) for broader numerical information.
