Tomorrow is the start of the year 1429 in the Muslim calendar. Muharam coincides with Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) journey from Mecca to Medina which was on the first of Muharram in 622AD.
According to Wikipedia, "the actual event of migration started in Thursday 26 in the Month of Safar AH 1 (9 September 622) of that year." This is from the entry at the following url (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri_year)
In other words, the year of the migration was chosen as the base year, the actual migration itself took place 66 days after the first of Muharram.
