JACKSONVILLE, Fla. â Did you know that Fatherâs Dayđ has an interesting history?
The first Fatherâs Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. It was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honor her father, a widower raising six children.
Unlike Motherâs Day, which became a commercial holiday in 1908, Fatherâs Day took longer to gain widespread recognition. In 1972, it finally became a nationwide holiday in the United States.
