Father's Day, contrary
to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday
in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more
cards. In fact when a "father's day" was first
proposed there were no Father's Day cards!
Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first
proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909.
Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father,
William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was
widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth
with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise
the newborn and his other five children by himself on
a rural farm in eastern Washington state. 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. The first Father's Day
was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington.
At about the same time in various towns and cities across
American other people were beginning to celebrate a
"father's day."
