It’s 1900s, not 1900’s. You only use an apostrophe when you’re omitting the first two digits: ‘90s, not 90’s or ‘90’s.

Why YSK: It’s an incredibly common error and can detract from academic writing as it is factually incorrect punctuation.

Grammar school, at this time of day? I say! It's not the 1900:s anymore.
