National Twins Day History

By the 20th century, when the twin craze and irrational conjecture had died, people could perceive twins as distinct persons. Twins continue appearing in literature, television, and other media, proving their interest has not entirely faded.

There is a fascinating story that led to the creation of National Twins Day. The story starts with Moses and Aaron Wilcox, twins who gave six acres of land to Millersville, an Ohio town. They just asked that the city be given the new name of Twinsburg. The locals agreed to this request and held the first twin-themed festival in the world in 1976. This fantastic event, which the Guinness Book of World Records recognised as the largest congregate of twins, served as the impetus for the establishment of National Twins Day.
