How Did Father’s Day Come About?
Father’s Day was officially started in America, it happened for the first time in 1908 in West Virginia, a sermon was held to honour fathers after a terrible mining accident saw 362 men killed.
A year after the ‘Father’s Day’ in West Virginia in 1909, a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd attempted to create a national Father’s Day, to be celebrated on June 5th, which was her own father's birthday. He was a Civil War veteran who had raised a large family on his own after his wife died during childbirth.
In 1910 Washington State celebrated its first Father’s Day on June 16th but this wasn’t as popular as Mother’s Day. However during World War II, to promote the men out on the field, advertisers grabbed the opportunity to use Father’s Day to support the troops by families back home. At the end of the war, Father’s Day was nationalised and the UK had joined suit.
Now we celebrate Father's Day as a love and appreciation of our dads and all they have done for us. Say cheers to your dad, and send them a gift of Peak Ales beer.
