Father's Day was first observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington . Sonora Smart Dodd (Mrs. John B. Dodd) of Washington State proposed the idea in 1909 after she had attended a Mother's Day service. Mrs. Dodd wanted to honor her own father. William Smart, who had been a Civil War veteran, who raised six children after his wife died in childbirth.

President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day in 1924.

On April 24, 1972, Father's Day was assured annual recognition by Presidential Proclamation. In Australia , Father's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September.
