Reply Written by Mayor Mary Marvin: As Memorial Day fast approaches, I became quite curious as to its origins so I did a little research that I thought interesting enough to share. As many of my generation know, Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day. It originated immediately following the Civil War but actually did not become an official U.S. holiday until 1971. Subscribe Immediately post-Civil War, Americans began going to cemeteries and decorating graves with flowers. Sadly, the United States had to establish national cemeteries because the Civil War took the lives of 750,000 Americans or 2 percent of the national population at that time. In 1868, General John Logan, leader of an organization for northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance on May 30, choosing precisely that date because it was not the anniversary of any battle in the war.
