The First Father’s Day:<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 1910, a Father’s Day celebration<\/strong> was held in Spokane, Washington<\/strong>, at the YMCA<\/strong> by Sonora Smart Dodd. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA<\/em> on June 19, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran<\/strong> William Jackson Smart<\/em>, was a single parent who raised his six children. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day<\/em>, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them.<\/p>\n

Several local clergymen accepted the idea, and on 19 June 1910, the first Father’s Day, “sermons honoring fathers were presented throughout the city”.<\/p>\n
