President's Day
from Salem History Moment
Presidents' Day, observed on the third Monday in February, originated as a federal holiday in 1885 to honor George Washington's birthday (Feb. 22). Moved to a Monday in 1971 by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create three-day weekends, the holiday expanded to honor both Washington and Abraham Lincoln ( whose birthday is on February 12).
