The day was started by an American woman Sonora Smart Dodd. She and her five brothers were brought up by their father alone after their mother died. Sonora was only 16 then. She deeply appreciated the effort her father put in for her and her siblings and wanted to extend this gratitude further.
In order to make her father feel special, she started celebrating father’s day on June 4, which was her father’s birthday. Later, it got pushed to June 19, which was a Sunday. President of the US in 1972, Nixon passed a bill officiating Father’s Day on every third Sunday of June.
