According to USA TODAY, the first Father's Day was celebrated in 1910, but it took more than 60 years for it to become an official holiday.
The first Father's Day was celebrated in 1910, but the country was slow to adopt a specific day for celebrating fathers.
Father's Day was first recognized in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson, who made Mother's Day an official holiday in 1914. Then, President Calvin Coolidge urged states to observe the holiday in 1924.
Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.
Although Father's Day is not a federal holiday, it is widely celebrated across the nation.
There are 11 federal holidays in the United States. Those remaining in 2025 include:
Juneteenth (June 19).
Independence Day (July 4).
Labor Day (Sept. 1).
Columbus Day (Oct. 13).
