Presidents Day initially honored the birth of George Washington. Because of his indispensable role in our nation's founding, America has celebrated his birth since 1800, following his death in 1799.
America’s Founding Fathers held Washington in their highest esteem and knew his moral force transcended politics and personal ambition. Washington commanded the Continental Army for eight years during the American Revolution, presided over the Constitutional Convention, and served two terms as the first president of the United States.
