Why is George Washington's official birthday celebration held on February 22 when he was actually born on February 11? we lost 11 days when we changed from the Julian to the gregorian calenders during his life time. so Washington celebrated his birthday 11 days later to make it a year after hi â¦ s last birthday.
This holiday was the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen. It was originally celebrated on what was considered Washingtonâs actual birthday of February 22nd. However, George Washington was not really born on that day. When Washington was born on Pope Creekâs Farm in Westmoreland County, Virginia, it was February 11, 1731! This can be blamed on another inaccurate calendar, the Julian Calendar, which was still used by the British Empire until 1752.
