The History of Father's Day
Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. This day began in Spokan, Washington a woman who was raised by her father Sonora Smart Dodd heard a sermon about Mother's Day and wanted to do something special for her father Henry Smart being that he raised her after her mother died. Her father was born in June she chose to celebrate the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910.
Present Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. President Nixon, in 1972, made it an national observance of Father's Day and it will be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. A rose is the flower for Father's Day: red to be worn for the living father and white for the father who has died.
