Presumably it is to honor presidents Washington and Lincoln; however, as a federal holiday it does not really exist -- the federal holiday is Washington's Birthday.

Some states have a Presidents' Day holiday (some state laws spell it Presidents Day or even President's Day) and each state can assign its own purpose to the holiday, so in some states it honors all past presidents.

As a popular holiday, it is mostly the creation of retail stores.
