* Check out these websites:

May 26, 1830 - The United States Congress approved the Indian Removal Act, which facilitated the relocation of Indian tribes from east of the Mississippi River. Although this act did not order their removal, it paved the way for increased pressure on Indian tribes to accept land-exchange treaties with the U.S. government and helped lead the way to the "Trail of Tears."

In the 1830s, fashionable women's clothing styles had distinctive large "leg of mutton" or "gigot" sleeves, above large full conical skirts, ideally with a narrow, low waist between (achieved through corseting). The bulkiness of women's garments both above and below the waist was intended to make the waist look smaller than it was — this was the final repudiation of any last lingering aesthetic influences of the Empire silhouette of ca. 1795-1825.

Only one railroad company was chartered this year-The Ohio Canal and Steubenville Railway Company.

The charter was granted February 23, 1830, Ohio Local Laws, vol. 28, page 124. This was the first railroad chartered in the State, and with the exception of the Baltimore and Ohio was the first Railroad Charter in the United States.

The charter contains all the important provisions found in the early acts of incorporation. But it contained one provision found in no other railroad charter-namely, that any person might use the road upon the payment of toll-the rates being fixed in the bill similar to canal tolls. The road was never built, although an amendment was made to the charter and an increase of capital was made in 1836.

Where? 1830's America, Europe, Asia, Africa???

Wikipedia is good to start, I guess, or just google around. You need to narrow the info you want to get or you'll be reading 300 trillion pages or so.
