Columbus Day was first recognized as a federal holiday in the United States in 1937. However, it wasn’t automatically a day off for federal employees.
It became a federal holiday under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and at that time, it was celebrated on October 12 each year. In 1971, under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Columbus Day was moved to the second Monday in October, and federal employees began receiving the day off as part of the federal holiday schedule.
