In the United States, it was first celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. It was initiated by Sonora Smart Dodd who was a daughter of a war veteran. He was also a single father who raised her and her five other siblings. She was inspired after learning about the celebration of Mother's Day at church and thought that fathers deserve the same kind of annual tribute.
However, it did not gain much popularity until the 1930s when Dodd decided to spread awareness about the Father's Day celebration, not just in their city, but in a national level with the help of some commercial trade companies that manufacture items dads typically use such as tobacco pipes and ties.
