Presidents' Day, formally known as Washington's Birthday, dates back to the year 1800, following the death of President George Washington in 1799. His birthday, on February 22, became a significant day of remembrance.  It is now a federal holiday observed in the United States on the third Monday of February. It is a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents (past and present).
