So why exactly do we have a Presidents Day 2011 holiday? Presidents Day is actually a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States. If you're wondering whether banks and post offices are open today? The answer is that most of them across the country will be closed today. The holiday, implemented by an Act of Congress in 1880 for District of Columbia, was the very first holiday to honor a single American citizen. It falls on February 21 in the year of 2011.
