In the US, it is Columbus Day. This commemorates the landing of Columbus in the New World, which was recorded as occurring on October 12, 1492.
(Under the Uniform Public Holiday Act of 1971, four holiday celebrations were shifted to Mondays to provide 3-day weekends rather than occurring mid-week. Other holidays maintained their calendar dates, such as Independence Day, Christmas, and New Year's Day, and Veterans Day was later moved back to November 11.)
