Presidents Day is a holiday here in the United States of America. It is always celebrated on the third monday of February. Presidents Day first started in 1885 in honor of George Washington who was the first president of the US. Yet, back then it was officially called ‘Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. It use to be celebrated on February 22 because that was Washington’s real birthday. The holiday became so popular that it was renamed President’s Day and it started to be celebrated on the third monday of February. It was changed from Washington’s Birthday to Presidents Day in 1971.
