I'm thoroughly unimpressed with today's options, so I will go with the 1755 birth of Alexander Hamilton.
One of the principal founding fathers, Hamilton's rise to Washington's right hand man and being the face on the $10 bill is one of the least likely imaginable, since he was born in utter poverty on the British West Indian island of Nevis.
