There are numerous stories related to father's day but the most popular story is about a young girl named Sonora Dodd of Washington.
In May 1909, Ms Dodd was listening to a church sermon on Mother's Day, when the idea stuck her of having a day dedicated for fathers.
The following year, she appealed for June 5, which was her father's birthday, to be celebrated as Father's Day. However, the first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910 officially.
