George Washington declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1789. However, the Continental Congress (president John Hanson) made the first actual national proclamation on March 16, 1776. The following year, a national day of prayer and thanksgiving was observed on December 16, 1777. The date of Thursday, November 26, 1789 was the date used by Washington, following the precedent of Thursday, November 28, 1782. The annual observance was established by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, and observed each year since then.
Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday in 1863, and it became an annual event. It wasn't recognized by a national law until Franklin D. Roosevelt signed it into law in December 1941.
There was no set date at that time. It was not even an annual celebration. It didn't become an annual celebration until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln made it an annual event on the last Thursday of November. Under Franklyn D. Roosevelt, it was set to the fourth Thursday of November.
In English history, it is recorded that the first Thanksgiving took place in 1619, at least a year before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. In the United States, many presidents throughout history held national Thanksgivings, but President Abraham Lincoln is credited as establishing an annual day of thanks in 1863.
