In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recognized Fatherâs Day as the third Sunday in June of that year and encouraged states to do the same. Congress officially recognized Fatherâs Day in 1956 with the passage of a joint resolution.
For many historians, however, the origins of Fathers Day are attributed to another American. Two years after Clayton's commentary on forgotten fathers, in 1910, a Washington woman named Sonora Smart Dodd publicly recognised the need for a Father's Day. To this day Dodd is known and recognised to be the first, and only, founder of Father's Day.
