The history of Thanksgiving Day dates back to 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians celebrated a harvest feast together. The Pilgrims had just arrived in America, and they were struggling to survive. The Wampanoags helped them by teaching them how to grow corn and other crops. In gratitude, the Pilgrims invited the Wampanoags to share a meal with them. This meal was the first Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day became a national holiday in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it as a day of "thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens." Thanksgiving has been celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year since 1941.
