Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set
aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the
Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized
the first parade in
New York City.

By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty
states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.
