What is
Presidents day: Presidents’ Day is an American
holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in
1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially
called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. Traditionally
celebrated on February 22—Washington’s actual day of birth—the holiday became
popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform
Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the
nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring
the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day
is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and
present.
