Father's Day, contrary to popular
belief, was not established as a holiday to help greeting card companies
sell more cards. In fact, when a "father's day" was first proposed there
were no Father's Day cards!
A lady by the name of Sonora Dodd, of Washington state, first proposed the
idea of a "fathers day" in 1909. She wanted a special day to honor her
father, William Smart who was a Civil War veteran and widowed when his
wife (Sonora's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child.
Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by
himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Sonora
became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father
had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane
Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across
American other people were beginning to celebrate a "fathers day."
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
