The first Labor Day took place on September 5, 1882 in New York City as a workingman's holiday. It was held a year later on the same date.

It became a national holiday in 1894 and the first Monday in September was selected as the official day.

It is more by coincidence/tradition that it is celebrated in September rather than a specific reason.
