Centuries are the counting of years. If counting begins at 1 so do centuries.
Assuming Zero is the point at which you begin counting, the number 1 is the passage of the first year, 10 is the passage of the first decade, and 100 is the passage of the first century. Zero doesn't count. It's zero. It's the starting point. You measure from zero to 1, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, etc.
