A Brief History About Labor Day

Chris Huffman's Blog | A Brief History About Labor Day

Many of us know Labor Day as the long weekend we unofficially say goodbye to summer and hello to September.

But do you know how Labor Day originated? Here is a brief history about Labor Day.

In the late 19th century as movements grew upon trade unions, so did a push for a holiday, the obviously named, Labor Day.

A day to honor the American labor movement and the workers who contributed in strengthening laws for the well-being of our country.

It first became a holiday in Oregon in 1887, the first American state to begin what would become an official federal holiday by 1894 for 30 states and now today, it is officially a day off for each state.
