Start of the Year

Question

Shalom, Thanks for this wonderful web-site and the opportunity to consult you. Would you please tell me why Rosh Hashana is considered the first of the year, and for how long it has been considered that. I know it’s called the Feast of Trumpets in the Tanach. It confuses me that the Biblical first month (Nissan?) isn’t celebrated as such. Todah rabah. Rex
