George Washington issued a proclamation naming November 26, 1789 as a "Day of Publick Thanksgivin"

After that various presidents designated various days.

Only much later, on October 6, 1941, did Congress designate a day as Thanksgiving.

Answer 2:

In 1941 the U.S. Congress passed legislation declaring the fourth Thursday of November each year to be the federal holiday of Thanksgiving Day. The bill was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 26 of that year. There were many other, earlier declarations of Thanksgiving days, of various dates, dating back to the earliest Colonial times. But the above is the current controlling declaration nationally.
