GOVERNMENT FACTS ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY (PRESIDENT'S DAY)
The following excerpt is from the USA.gov. Team website:
Washington's Birthday/Presidents' Day
George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. He was the first President of the United States.
Washington's Birthday became a legal U.S. federal holiday on January 31, 1879.
The Uniform Monday Holiday Law changed the date of observance of Washington's Birthday from February 22 to the third Monday in February.
Many Americans refer to the holiday as Presidents' Day as a way of honoring all past presidents.
Contrary to popular belief, neither Congress nor any President has ever officially changed the name of the holiday to "Presidents' Day."
