Presidents Day is a government holiday that celebrates the United States presidents on the third Monday in February every year.
The celebration officially started in 1880, when Washington’s Birthday (February 22) became an official holiday in Washington, D.C. It became a national holiday in 1885.
Did you know that Abraham Lincolns birthday falls very close to George Washington’s but Lincoln’s is not a federal holiday. But Many states still celebrate his birthday along with George Washingtons.
