There are a lot of explanations for it, but the most popular revolves around the start of the year.
In the Middle Ages. many places celebrated the New Year in a week-long party starting on March 25 and ending on April 1. It coincided with a Christian rite called the Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel told the Virgin Mary she was to be the mother of Jesus. When the New Year was changed to January 1, the people who changed to the new holiday called people who celebrated the old one "April fools."
