The anniversary of George Washington's birthday is February 12th, and Abraham Lincoln's is February 22nd. Some states used to celebrate both, some one or the other, and some just Washington's (the old Confederacy). Some states also had holidays honoring one or another different presidents.
All the holidays got confusing with the expansion of national trade across the country and internationally, as business closings were difficult to keep track of.
The Federal holiday is actually Washington's Birthday, but it has come to be called Presidents' Day in honor of all the presidents of the US. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February.
