February marks the celebration of birthdays of all the U.S. Presidents. Originally established in 1885 to honor President George Washington's birthday (February 22), it later became designated as Presidents Day to include all the Presidents. The 1971 Uniform Monday Holiday Act created the third Monday in February as Presidents Day every year. This year (2015), Presidents' Day will be on February 16th.
President Abraham Lincoln's birthday is on February 12th. Some states have that day as an official holiday.
