The story behind Columbus Day
The second Monday of October is a U.S. federal holiday officially named Columbus Day, marking Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas in 1492. It became a federal holiday in 1937, after long campaigning by Italian-American communities, for whom it remains a day of heritage and pride.
Since 2021 the same day has also been proclaimed nationally as Indigenous Peoples' Day, and many states and cities now observe it under that name to honor the first peoples of the Americas and their history. Federal offices and banks close; many businesses stay open.
