The Presidents Day tradition first began in 1800, the year after Washington died. People mourning the late leader celebrated his birthday, and in 1879 the holiday became official. It became a federal event\u00a0in 1885 and was the first observance. \u00a0 But the day wasn’t just for Washington for too long \u2014 by the 1960s, Congress was requesting the government add Lincoln to the annual\u00a0festivities. Today, people use it to remember all of the U.S. commander-in-chiefs.<\/p>\n
