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.
But it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon B. Johnson declared, by presidential proclamation, the third Sunday in June to be Father's Day. On June 15, 1966, President Johnson declared Father's Day to be a time to give public and private expression of the love and gratitude owed to the nation's fathers.
