The original version of the holiday was in commemoration of George Washington's birthday in 1796 (the last full year of his presidency). Apparently, while the holiday in February is still officially known as Washington's Birthday, it has become popularly known as "President's Day." This has made the third Monday in February a day for honoring both Washington and Lincoln, as well as all the other men who have served as president.
