If it was the 100th, the 200th, or even the 300th I would get it. But the 250th? That literally means nothing. It’s like celebrating my 25th birthday as if it’s as big a deal as my 21st or 30th. In reality I don’t even remember my 25th birthday because nobody, including myself, gave a shit.
I’m pretty sure it’s literally just because the majority of those in power right now won’t be alive for the 300th birthday and they just picked the next best looking number they found find.

The big “birthdays” of cities, universities, etc. are always 250, 500, 750 etc.
