Why Labor Day?

Did You Know . . .

Labor Day in the United States originated in the late 19th century as a result of the labor movement's push for better working conditions, fair wages, and reasonable working hours. The first Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union. The idea was to dedicate a day to honor the contributions of workers and recognize their efforts in building the nation.

The holiday gained traction, and by 1894, Congress made Labor Day a federal holiday, celebrated on the first Monday in September. The decision to make it a national holiday was partly influenced by the Pullman Strike, a major labor conflict that year, which resulted in a stronger recognition of workers' rights. Labor Day is now seen as a tribute to the American workforce and is often marked by parades, barbecues, and other community events.
