What is President's Day?

President's Day commemorates the birthday of George Washington, the first President of the United States born on February 22, 1732.

President's Day was first established over a century since Washington was born in 1879.

However, it wasn't until 1968, that the holiday was made a federal holiday after former president Lyndon B. Johnson signed it into law.

The federal holiday was celebrated on the 22nd every year until 1971 when it was officially changed to the third Monday of February.

The day has since been repurposed as a celebration of the birthdays of every president who has served the United States.
