Father’s Day History

Father’s Day was celebrated for the first time on June 19, 1910. However, Father’s Day celebrations weren’t a holiday in the US until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson declared it so. A Sunday sermon in honour of the 362 men who had died in the Fairmont Coal Company mines explosion in Monongah was held the previous December. This marked the first-ever event specifically honouring fathers. However, this was a one-time observance rather than a yearly holiday. Eventually, the idea for Father's Day came from a kind woman named Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909. Her dad raised her and her five siblings all by himself after their mother passed away. She got the inspiration to celebrate Father’s Day from the Mother’s Day celebrations. Sonora thought fathers deserved a special day, just like mothers. It took a long time, but eventually, Father's Day became a national holiday in the United States in 1972.
