About Mother's Day (US) in 2026
The modern US Mother's Day was founded by Anna Jarvis, who held the first official observance in Grafton, West Virginia in 1908, in memory of her own mother.
Jarvis was arrested in 1925 for disturbing the peace while protesting a Mother's Day-themed convention she considered exploitative of the holiday's original, more personal intent.
Phone carriers have historically reported the date as one of the highest-volume calling days of the year in the United States.
