Before 1941, Thanksgiving in the United States had a variable history. A day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed by various U.S. presidents in months that included March, April, May, September and December.
The fourth Thursday of November, however, was finally fixed as a “legal public holiday” by a bill passed on Oct. 6, 1941, by the U.S. House of Representatives. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill in December 1941, and it took effect as a federal holiday in November 1942.
