What day is Presidents Day 2019?
Presidents Day is on Monday, Feb. 18, and it's also referred to as George Washington's birthday.
According to USA Today, the day was originally established in the 1880s to honor President George Washington but later became viewed as a time to recognize all presidents, past and present, after it was moved to a Monday as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which took effect in 1971. At that time, the name was also changed to Presidents Day.
