The first documented fathers' event in the United States took place on July 5, 1908, when a church in West Virginia had a special Sunday sermon to commemorate 362 men. They died in an explosion in a coal mine in December of the previous year, including many fathers. However, this special Father's Day sermon was a one-time event that did not repeat itself in the years that followed.
This all started with her
A key figure in the founding of Father's Day in the United States was the 27-year-old Sonora Dodd, whose father raised his six children alone after the death of her mother. Inspired by Anna Jarvis' efforts for Mother's Day in the United States, Dodd wanted to create an official equivalent for male parents in 1909 because she was very grateful to her father.
She went to local churches, shopkeepers, and government officials to gather support for her idea, and got at last successful. The State of Washington celebrated the first nationwide United States Father's Day on June 19, 1910. Dodd originally suggested June 5 as the date for the holiday, which was the anniversary of her father's death. However, there was probably not enough time to organize the celebrations in time.
Official government recognition
In 1916, US President Woodrow Wilson spoke at a Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington, and wanted to make the holiday official. However, Congress had fears that it would just be another commercial holiday.
The Father's Day movement grew slowly and only became more popular in 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge asked all US states to celebrate Father's Day. However, this had to wait until 1972 when President Richard Nixon officially declared Father's Day a public holiday by law. Six years earlier, in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson had already defined the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.
