Coming out of a belief in economic and political democracy, and envisioned by founders as a celebration of the American worker and the great American work ethic, Labor Day was conceived of in 1882 by Matthew Maguire, while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. They proposed a Labor Day holiday and President Cleveland signed it into law in 1894. The first parade was held in NYC on September 5, 1882.
