In the United States, the first modern Father’s Day celebration was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. It is is believed to have been inspired to celebrate fathers after the deadly mine explosion in nearby Monongah the prior December. This explosion killed 361 men, many of them fathers and recent immigrants to the United States from Italy. Another possible inspiration for the service was Mother’s Day.
