The Declaration of Independence was formally adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which is why that date is celebrated in the United States. However, most of the delegates did not sign it on that day; the signing took place over several weeks, with some delegates signing as late as August 1776. The document was officially published and announced to the public on July 4, marking it as a key date in American history.
