This year, Columbus Day was Oct. 9. Although the holiday is now officially celebrated on the second Monday in October in the United States, Oct. 12, is the true anniversary of Columbus’s first landing in the New World. This holiday has been celebrated in some places since the late 18th century, but it has only been a federally recognized holiday since the 1930s.
