The History of Father’s Day
The inspiration for the holiday began after the invention of Mother’s Day in the late 1800s–people wanted to celebrate fathers as they celebrated mothers. America’s first Father’s Day was declared by the governor of Washington state in 1910. From that initial event, interest in the holiday grew. Want to learn more about the history?
