Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. It was first observed on May 30, 1868. It was officially renamed to Memorial Day in May of 1967 and was observed on May 30th of every year until 1970 (for 102 years.) On January 1, 1971 the Uniform Monday Holiday Act (passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon Banes Johnson in 1968) went into effect moving the holiday from May 30th to the last Monday in May. This bill moved several holidays from their traditional dates to a Monday so as to give federal employees some three-day weekends during the year.
