On June 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the nationâs first âFatherâs Day.â However, it was not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Motherâs Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the United States.
The modern-day origins of Mother's Day can be attributed to two women â Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis, who were important in establishing the tradition in the United States. Around 1870, Julia Ward Howe called for Mother's Day to be celebrated each year.
