When did Groundhog Day start

Although Groundhog day began to be celebrated in North America during the 18th and 19th centuries (most historians say it began in 1887) it has been celebrated in Europe for hundreds or thousands of years before that. The original weather wise animal was a badger or sacred bear but for convenience, or perhaps safety, the groundhog was chosen as the go to critter in North America.
