Father’s Day 2024: History

It was Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, who came up with the idea of Father's Day. Father's Day originated in the early 1900s as a means to honour and recognize fatherhood. It was modelled after Mother's Day. Although the state of Washington observed Father's Day on June 19, 1910, President Richard Nixon did not proclaim the day a national holiday until May 1, 1972.
