About Presidents' Day in 2026
Presidents' Day began as Washington's Birthday, a federal holiday established in 1879 to honor George Washington on his actual birth date, February 22, 1732.
Some states, including Virginia and Massachusetts, still use variations closer to the original name, such as 'Washington's Birthday' or 'Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday,' rather than the more generic 'Presidents' Day.
Furniture, mattress, and car dealership sales tied to the long weekend are now one of the most recognizable retail associations with the date.
