Started in the early 20th century to complement Mother’s Day, Father’s Day celebrates fatherhood and parenting.
One of the driving forces behind the establishment of Father’s Day was Sonora Smart Dodd who wished to commemorate her father, an American Civil War veteran. William Jackson Smart was a single parent who raised six children by himself.
