History of Father’s Day 2024
The idea of Father’s Day was first conceived by Sonora Smart Dodd, a loving daughter from Spokane, Washington. It was also inspired by Mother’s Day which had been established as a national holiday. Dodd also wanted a day to honour her father, William Jackson Smart, who was a Civil War veteran and single-handedly raised her and her siblings after the demise of their mother.
