Presidentsâ Day is actually Washingtonâs birthday, recognized by an Act of Congress for government offices in Washington, D.C., in 1879, and for all federal offices in 1885.
In 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create more three day weekends moved the observance of Washingtonâs birthday to the third Monday in February.
As Abraham Lincoln was also born in February, so many States include him in the observance, and still other States include all the Presidents.
George Washington was born FEBRUARY 22, 1732.
He was:
â unanimously chosen as President of the Constitutional Convention;
â unanimously chosen as the first U.S. President;
â unanimously re-elected to a second term.
