LOS ANGELES - Americans will celebrate Presidents Day Monday, Feb. 15, a holiday that began as a celebration of George Washington’s birthday.
Throughout the 19th century, communities celebrated on Feb. 22 with parades and fireworks, said Evan Phifer, a research historian at the White House Historical Association. Then in the late 1800s, our nation’s first president’s birthday became a federal holiday.
The holiday was moved to the third Monday in February in 1971, creating a three-day weekend for many workers.
