Today is President's day

This day originally was observed in celebration of the Birthday of George Washington, the first President of the United States and was called, obviously, Washington's Birthday.

As time passed and more and more Presidents were elected, this day was finally changed to "President's Day".

Under this new name of President's day, it is celebrated on the third Monday of February each year.
