Former US President Jimmy Carter is turning 100 years old on Tuesday, October 1.

The 39th president began receiving hospice care at his home in Georgia in February 2023, according to a statement from The Carter Center. He became the oldest living president in history after George H.W. Bush died in 2018 at the age of 94.

Carter, a peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, who served in the US Navy, was president from 1977 to 1981.

Championing human rights at the center of US foreign policy, Carter forged a still-standing peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. He also established the Department of Energy in 1977.

Shortly after, Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, established The Carter Center, which has monitored international elections and promoted public health across the world.

Carter is held by his mother, Lillian, when he was just a month old. Carter was born October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia. He was the first US president to be born in a hospital.

College student Chuck McManis watches Carter's nationally televised energy speech from a service station in Los Angeles in July 1979. In this speech, Carter described what he saw as a growing "crisis of confidence" in the country. An Arab oil embargo led to fuel shortages and sky-high prices throughout much of the 1970s. At times, Americans were waiting in line for hours to fill their gas tanks.
