History and Origin of Father’s Day

Every celebration has a heartfelt story behind it, and the story of Father's Day is one of strength, love, and a daughter's deep respect for her father.

• As the tale goes, the first whisper of Father's Day came on July 5th, 1908, in a West Virginia church where the memory of fathers lost in the Monongah explosion was honored. 

• The heart and soul of this tradition lies with Sonora Smart Dodd, a young American woman who was raised by her single father. 

• In 1910, with the help of her church and community, she proposed a day to honor fathers across the world. Initially, she chose June 5th, but then the date was later shifted to the third Sunday of June. 

• Finally, in 1972, after decades of effort and love, Father's Day officially came into being.
