In 1910, Father's Day was created. This holiday was established to honor and celebrate fathers and their contributions to their families and society. It was initially proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to recognize her father's dedication and love. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Since then, Father's Day has been observed on different dates worldwide, but it is commonly celebrated on the third Sunday in June.
