A fun fact about President’s Day is that it was not always called by that name. The holiday was originally established in 1885 as “Washington’s Birthday” to celebrate the birthday of George Washington, and it was only celebrated in Washington D.C. However, in 1971, the holiday was moved to the third Monday in February as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which aimed to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. At that time, the holiday became known as “President’s Day” to honor all U.S. presidents, and it has been celebrated as such ever since.
