Father's Day Facts: Father's Day is June 18

father-and-child
  1. Father's Day was invented by American Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honor her father. He was a veteran who had raised his six children as a single parent. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910.
  2. The first American president to support the concept of Father's Day was President Calvin Coolidge, who did so in 1924… but it wasn't until in the year 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation that resulted in the declaration of the third Sunday of June as Father's Day.
  3. According to greetings card makers Hallmark, Father's Day is the fifth-largest card-sending holiday.
  4. Going for a floral gift? Traditionally fathers should be given the gift of white or red roses. The rose is the official flower for Father's Day. A red rose signifies a living father, while a white one represents a deceased father.
  5. Surprisingly, the trusty slipper gift isn't the most popular Father's Day present – it's actually a tie.
