What day is George Washington's Birthday?


February 22, 1732, if you count backwards using our present calendar. However, according to the calendar in use at the time, his birthday was February 11, 1731. This is the result of the adoption by Britain and its colonies of the current Gregorian Calendar in 1752. In that year, September 3 through September 13 were skipped AND the new year was moved from March 25 to January 1.
