In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recognized Fatherâs Day as the third Sunday in June of that year and encouraged states to do the same. Congress officially recognized Fatherâs Day in 1956 with the passage of a joint resolution.
In June of every year, we honor fathers. The first Mother's Day was celebrated in 1914, but a holiday honoring fathers did not become official until 1966, when President Lyndon Johnson declared that the third Sunday in June would be Father's Day. President Richard Nixon made this proclamation permanent in 1972.
