The earliest celebration of a day that I could find was Independence Day. It has been celebrated on the 4th of July since 1777. Independence Day celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence and our declaration of becoming a free and independent nation.

The first holiday celebrated in America was Thanksgiving, no original name that I can think of. Thanksgiving Day was first proclaimed a national holiday by President Lincoln in 1863, after being urged by Mrs. Sarah J. Hale who was the editor of Godey's Lady's Book. Many people believe that Thanksgiving dates back to the first day of thanks in America, ordered by Governor Bradford of Plymouth, in 1621. But, according to the studies of scholars, days of thanks date back to ancient times.
