Spokane, Wash. â Father's Day was started a century ago because inventor Sonora Smart Dodd was upset by widespread mocking of fathers in popular culture as lazy, sleazy and drunk.
In 1909, Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Spokane Washington, first proposed the idea of a father's day. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smarâ¦t, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died in childbirth with their sixth child.
