Our insightful video reveals how it all began with Sonora Smart Dodd in Spokane, Washington, in 1910.

Despite initial setbacks, the persistent efforts of many finally paid off when President Lyndon B. Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day in 1966, and it was officially recognized as a national holiday by President Richard Nixon in 1972.
