Mrs. Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a Father's Day in 1909. She wanted a special day to honour her father, William Smart who had become a widower when his wife died in childbirth with their sixth child. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. He was born in June, so she chose to hold the Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. Today it is a day not only to honor your father, but all men who act as father figures - stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers and so on.
