The first Labor Day celebration was September 5, 1882 in New York City. The parade was organized by the Central Labor Union and was a way to show support for the rights of workers. It was then celebrated every following year. However, it didn't become a recognized holiday until 1894 when President Cleveland made Labor Day a federal holiday.
