The first observance of Mother's Day in the United States took place in 1908, organized by Anna Jarvis in Grafton, West Virginia, to honor her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis. However, the modern celebration of Mother's Day was officially designated as the second Sunday in May by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. The concept of honoring mothers can also be traced back to ancient civilizations, but Jarvis's efforts marked the beginning of the contemporary holiday.
