The holiday commemorates the Declaration of Independence of the United States, on July 4, 1776. This will be the 246th celebration.

In 1781, the Massachusetts General Court became the first state legislature to recognize July 4 as a state celebration.

In 1870, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day an unpaid holiday for federal employees.

In 1938, Congress changed Independence Day to a paid federal holiday.
