99th

99th is the ordinal form used to denote the position of an item in a sequence, specifically the number 99 as the item that follows the 98th and precedes the 100th. It is commonly written as 99th in lists, dates, anniversaries, rankings, and other contexts where order matters.

In military and governmental contexts, 99th appears in the designation of numbered units and formations, such as divisions, regiments, squadrons, and wings across various countries. The number is part of a broader naming system and does not by itself determine a unit’s size, function, or history.

Geography and infrastructure frequently use ordinal numbers in street, avenue, and district names, with many cities featuring a 99th Street, 99th Avenue, or similar designation. Such usage helps organize layouts and navigation.

Historical and statistical usage includes references such as the 99th United States Congress (1985–1987) and the 99th percentile, which marks the value below which 99% of observations fall. These examples illustrate the versatility of the ordinal in formal naming and data interpretation.

Beyond formal designations, 99th can appear in event numbering, anniversaries, or cataloging in libraries and archives. As a general ordinal, it functions across domains wherever precise ordering and labeling are required.
