Fathers Day History


Why and when is Fathers Day celebrated?

Sonora Dodd is attributed with being the founder of the Father's Day tradition. While listening to a Mother's Day sermon, she realised the selflessness and sacrifice that her father had made in raising her and her siblings after their mother died at the birth of her sixth child.

Her father, William Smart was a Civil War veteran who raised his six children himself on their farm in eastern Washington state.

It was as an adult that Sonora Dodd realised how well her father had done as a single parent and so she wanted to honour him. The first father's day celebration was held on 19 June 1910 in Spokane, Washington.

Later, in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge, supported the idea of a national Father's Day and finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972.

The tradition has now spread worldwide.
