Since the early 1600s,Thanksgiving has been celebrated in one form or another.
In 1789, President George Washington declared Nov. 26 as a national day of thanksgiving.
Almost 100 years later, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared that the Thanksgiving holiday would be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran afoul of public sentiment when in 1939 he declared Thanksgiving should be celebrated on the second to last Thursday of November.
In 1941, Roosevelt declared the controversial Thanksgiving date experiment over. He signed a bill that formally established the Thanksgiving holiday as the fourth Thursday in November.
