– How did Father’s Day begin?
Sonora Smart Dodd, a resident of Spokane, Washington, inspired the tradition of celebrating Father’s Day worldwide. In 1909, Dodd first came up with the idea of celebrating a day to honour fathers and father figures. She was bothered by the lack of a day to honour fathers while attending a sermon on Mother’s Day. She had lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her father. Dodd approached Spokane’s Ministerial Association with the idea of observing Father’s Day. Eventually, the first Father’s Day was celebrated in June 1910, the birth month of Dodd’s dad.
