The Declaration of Independence was first adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. However, the signing of the document began on August 2, 1776, when most delegates officially signed it. Some delegates signed it later, but July 4 remains the date celebrated as Independence Day in the United States.

Who was the first man to sign the Declaration of Independence?

John Hancock was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. He was president of the Continental Congress.He used large bold script and signed under the text in the center of the page. He said the reason he signed it large was, "So fat George can read it without his spectacles." This is why, to this day, when you sign something it is called putting your John Hancock on it.What many people don't know is that there were two versions of the Declaration of Independence. John Hancock signed the first one on July 4, 1776. No other delegates signed that version.John Hancock signed the second version on approximately August 22, 1776. This is the version that most of the other delegates signed.
