1910 (first in U.S.), 1972 (US holiday)
The first Father's Day in the U.S. was celebrated on July 19, 1910 in the State of Washington.
In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.
