Chester Arthur was the 21st President, he was president from September 19th, 1881- March 4th, 1885. He was a Vermont Native, he was active in the Republican Politics in the 1850s as a lawyer. Chester Arthur took office right after James Garfield died (1831-1881). President Arthur was in poor health so decided to retire at the end of his term. He died November 18th, 1886. I asked a few people If they knew who he was and how long he was a president. The majority of them had no idea who he was.
