In America, the first Father’s Day took place on July 5, 1908 in West Virginia of all places. According to Wikipedia, one possible genesis of the paternal celebration is believed to have been a response to a tragic mine explosion the previous winter that killed 361 men, many of them fathers and recent Italian immigrants.
