First National Thanksgiving Celebrated Under Washington
The 1789 observance began as a congressional-propelled idea from Alexander Hamilton, with Jefferson resisting pomp. Washington issued the proclamation for November 26, and New York hosted a mixed celebration marked by parade and a later, troubled dinner at Fraunces Tavern.
