Father's Day Quotes & Wishes

Words to thank dad on his day.

Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June in the United States, a tradition that traces back to Sonora Smart Dodd, who organized the first observance in Spokane, Washington in 1910 after being raised by her widowed father. It took until 1972 for the day to become an official U.S. federal holiday. Browse Quotes or send Wishes to mark the day.

Dodd chose June for the observance because it was her own father's birth month, and the idea spread slowly for decades before gaining national recognition. If you just need something short for a caption or update, the Status collection has quick lines to post alongside a photo.
