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.
And once upon a time, lots of the country's dads were opposed to it. The holiday was invented by a woman who really liked her dad. Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman from Spokane, WA, was inspired to create Father's Day after listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.
