Before it was declared a holiday by any elected officials, Labor Day was first celebrated in New York City on Tuesday, September 5th, 1882 at an event organized by the Central Labor Union. New York would also be the first state to introduce a bill that would make Labor Day a holiday, but Oregon was actually the first state to pass such a bill into law in 1887, making it the official start of Labor Day as a government-recognized holiday. By 1894, thirty states across the country recognized the holiday, so on June 28th of that year, President Grover Cleveland signed a law that designated the first Monday of September as a holiday for federal workers. While today, many employers throughout the United States recognize Labor Day and give their employees three-day weekends, it is not required by law.
