Father’s Day takes place on June 16, 2019 in the United States, but the holiday dates back over a century ago. According to The History Channel, the first Father’s Day can be traced to Spokane, Washington in 1910, where a woman name Sonora Smart Dodd, who was raised by a widower, set out to establish a holiday like Mother’s Day – which had been around since the mid-1800s – for dads. Dodd was successful, and Washington State celebrated its first Father’s Day on June 19, 1910. It wasn’t until 1972, almost 60 years after Washington’s first Father’s Day celebration, that President Woodrow Wilson declared it a nationwide holiday.
