There used to be two holidays; Abraham Lincoln's birthday on February 12, and George Washington's birthday on February 22. The Uniform Monday Holiday law of 1968 omitted Lincoln's birthday and set the date of the Washington's Birthday holiday as the 3rd Monday of February.
Many states formally recognize "Presidents' Day" to honor both Washington and Lincoln.
