The first observance of Father's Day is believed to have been held July 5 1908 at the Central United Methodist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. In 1909, Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington, arranged a tribute for her father on June 19, 1910. She was the first to suggest an official Father's Day observance. A bill was introduced in 1913 to make it an official holiday but it wasn't made a permanent holiday until 1976 by President Nixon.
