History of Father's Day
The special day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd in the US. Sonora's father William Jackson Smart was a war veteran who selflessly raised six children all alone. Sonora had heard about how Anna Jarvis had created International Mother's Day in honor of her mother. So she told the pastor of her church that should be something similar to celebrate fathers. She believed that fathers also deserved the recognition and appreciation for their role they play in raising their children.

As per reports, Sonora had proposed the idea to celebrate Father's Day to her local YMCA and the Spokane Ministerial Association. She had earlier suggested to celebrate the day on 5 June, however, the date was changed to the third Sunday in June. In 1910, the first official Father's Day was celebrated on 19 June in Spokane, Washington.
