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.
The first Father's Day was organized by Mrs. Grace Golden Clayton in Fairmont, West Virginia on July 5, 1908. This was to celebrate the lives of the 210 fathers who had been lost in the Monongah Mining disaster several months earlier in Monongah, West Virginia, on December 6, 1907.
