Henry Jackson Smart
Henry Jackson Smart is recognized as the father of Father's Day, a holiday established to honor and celebrate the contributions of fathers. His commitment to raising his children after the death of his wife inspired Sonora Smart Dodd to propose the idea of a dedicated day for fathers in 1910. This initiative laid the groundwork for the now widely celebrated Father's Day, which takes place on the third Sunday of June each year.
