On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. The July 4th, Independence Day holiday has been a federal holiday since 1870. In 1941, the provision was expanded to grant a paid holiday to all federal employees. In addition, according to the National Archives, “the very first Independence Day celebration took place not on July 4th but on July 8th! On that day in 1776, the first celebration took place in Philadelphia. The Declaration of Independence was read aloud, city bells rang, and bands played. The following year, Philadelphia’s celebration moved to July 4 – the actual date of the adoption of the Declaration.”
