Decoration Day (later called Memorial Day) was first observed on May 30, 1868, three years after the Civil War had ended. New York was the first state to officially recognize the holiday in 1873. It was recognized by all northern states by 1890. The southern states did not recognize May 30 as a holiday until after World War I.
