It appears in contexts ranging from the 33rd item in a list or the 33rd edition of a publication to the 33rd event in a series.

The 33rd United States Congress met from March 4, 1913, to March 4, 1915, during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. It passed landmark reforms, including the Underwood Tariff Act and the Revenue Act of 1913, which introduced a federal income tax, and it enacted the Federal Reserve Act, establishing the Federal Reserve System. The period also coincided with the ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments.

In Freemasonry, the 33rd degree is the highest honorary rank in the Scottish Rite. In geography, the 33rd parallel north is a circle of latitude used in mapping and, more broadly, appears in street names including 33rd Street in many cities.
