If someone were to ask you the question, “What is Labor Day?” could you answer it? I doubt many of us really know anything about the holiday other than the fact that it is the first Monday in September and is the unofficial end of summer. At one time, Labor Day signaled the beginning of the new school year, but with more schools returning to classes in middle or late August, that is no longer the case. Nevertheless, many summer activities still continue throughout Labor Day weekend.

The tradition of celebrating Labor Day is over one hundred years old. It began in the 1880’s in New York as a parade by the Knights of Columbus to celebrate the working class and their contributions to city life. The first Monday in September was chosen for the date of the parade, and the Knights decided to hold all future parades on that day. From then on the Knights designated the first Monday in September as Labor Day. Toward the end of the 1800’s, labor organizations began to lobby state legislatures to observe Labor Day as an official holiday. In 1887, the first states declared it a state holiday: Oregon, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. In 1894, Congress passed a law that designated Labor Day as an official national holiday.
