Thanksgiving Day has been annually observed in the United States since 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln declared the holiday as the last Thursday in November.
In 1939, there were five Thursdays in November, so President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the observance date to the fourth Thursday so that retailers would have more time to advertise their products before Christmas during the Great Depression.
President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving back even further in 1940 and 1941 to the third Thursday in November.
Following an uproar over Roosevelt changing the Thanksgiving dates, the U.S. Congress passed a law setting the date permanently for the fourth Thursday in November which continues to the present day.
The precise date of when the Pilgrims had their Thanksgiving feast with the Indians is unknown to historians.
The first Thanksgiving was held after the Pilgrims’ fall harvest and occurred sometime between late September and early November 1621.
