Why is Martin Luther King Jr day celebrated on the 3rd Monday of Jan?
Martin Luther King Day was set aside in celebration of King's birthday - January 15. Because Americans like their 3-day weekends, the official holiday was designated as the third Monday in January. We used to celebrate Washington's birthday on February 22, but it was made into a 3-day weekend . So were Memorial Day (originally May 30) and Columbus Day (October 12) - through passage of the Uniform Holiday Act in 1968 aka Public Law 90-363. See Related Links.

Which holiday did Martin Luther King Day replace?
president day Actually, there is no official "Presidents Day" - it is still officially "Washington's Birthday." Prior to MLK Day, there was Lincoln's Birthday in early February (February 12th) and Washington's Birthday on the third Monday in February. Many holidays were changed to be on a Monday after passage of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act by Congress. Constitutionally, there are no "national holidays" in the United States because Congress only has authority to create holidays for federal institutions (including federally owned properties) and employees, and for the District of Columbia. Instead, there are federal holidays, state holidays, city holidays, and so on.
