About Presidents' Day
The federal holiday on the third Monday in February is officially called Washington's Birthday, after George Washington, who was born on February 22, 1732. Most calendars, stores and state governments call it Presidents' Day.
Congress made Washington's Birthday a federal holiday in 1879. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 moved it to a Monday, which means it now never falls on Washington's actual birthday.
How the date is set
It is the third Monday in February, so it always falls between February 15 and 21. Its official federal name is “Washington's Birthday”.
What is open
As a federal holiday, federal government offices close, and most banks and post offices close as well. It is also a New York Stock Exchange holiday.
