In the Roman calendar, March was the first month of the year. This seems to have change sometimes in the 2nd century BC, at which point it became the third month, where it remains to this day. Some Indian cultures still consider the New Year to fall in spring.
Bonus:
For this reason, the monumental set of 12 tapestries Les Chasses de Maximilien, in which each work depicts a month, begins in March.
