Sonora Smart Dodd, a resident of Spokane, Washington, is credited with the creation of Father’s Day in 1909. Inspired by her father’s single-handed upbringing of his children, Dodd sought to establish a day to honor fathers, similar to the newly established Mother’s Day. The first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane on June 19, 1910, with the support of local religious leaders.

President Joseph R. Biden Jr. of the White House has officially designated June 16, 2024, as Father’s Day, in accordance with a joint resolution of the Congress enacted on April 24, 1972. This proclamation highlights the significance of honoring and celebrating fathers worldwide.

Quotes from notable individuals like Thomas J. Langley, William Shakespeare, Susan Gale, Anne Geddes, Pam Brown, Reed Markham, Abraham Lincoln, and others, emphasize the profound impact of fathers on individuals’ lives. These quotes reflect the love, guidance, and wisdom that fathers impart to their children.

As Father’s Day approaches, families worldwide are preparing to celebrate and honor the special men who have played paternal roles in their lives. The day will be filled with gestures of love, appreciation, and quality time spent with fathers, grandfathers, and father figures to acknowledge their selfless contributions and unwavering support.
