DID YOU KNOW? Each February, schools, banks and even many offices close for a holiday that technically doesn’t even exist. Though the third Monday of every February is widely known as President’s Day, the official name of the holiday is Washington’s Birthday, so named after the first president of the United States, George Washington, whose birthday fell on February 22nd. While Washington’s accomplishments were certainly worth noting, many states began referring to the holiday as President’s Day to honor another illustrious president with a February birthday, Abraham Lincoln. Because states are allowed to follow their own holidays, many chose to honor Lincoln over Washington. However, some states still celebrate the day as “Washington’s Birthday.” Such is the case in Massachusetts, though Massachusetts state law still prescribes that the governor issue an annual President’s Day proclamation honoring all Massachusetts-born presidents, including John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Calvin Coolidge, and John F. Kennedy. Similarly, in Virginia, where George Washington was born, the holiday is legally known as “George Washington Day.” In 1968, Congress considered legally changing the holiday’s name to President’s Day. While those efforts stalled, Congress did decide to move the holiday to fall between both Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthday.
