History
Father's Day started in the early 20th century in the United States to
celebrate fatherhood and to complement Mother's Day. It was first
celebrated on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA by Sonora
Smart Dodd. She heard about Mother's Day in 1909 and told her pastor
she thought fathers should have a similar holiday. Her father raised
six children as a single parent. The local clergymen agreed to the idea
and the first Father's Day sermon was given on June 19, 1910.
