Father’s Day
The origin of Father's Day
For Americans and Britons in 2026, Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 21 this year.
Father’s Day is generally believed to have been inaugurated in 1908 by a West Virginian woman who missed her own dad.
Grace Clayton had lost her father several years before, but was roused to act by an incident that would shake her town for generations. The 1907 Monogah Mining Disaster left a thousand children fatherless, when an accidental explosion killed 250 fathers and 367 men.
Inspired by the US’s first Mother’s Day earlier that year, Clayton encouraged her pastor, Reverend Robert Thomas Webb, to dedicate a special service to the victims of Monogah.
This was held on July 5, the closest Sunday to her own father’s birthday. So Father’s Day was not originally a day of breakfast in bed and greetings cards. It was a dedication to unforgotten fathers, and a memorial to the tragic loss of men’s lives.
