President's Day in the North Hills: What's Open, What's Closed?
It is a federal, state, and county holiday -- but other many other offices are businesses are open.
Monday, Feb. 18 is President's Day.
The holiday was originally titled "Washington's Birthday," a federal observation honoring the nation's first President and implemented by congress in 1879 . By the mid-1980s, with a push from advertisers, the term "Presidents' Day" began its public appearance. Today, the holiday has become well known for being a day in which many stores, especially car dealers and furniture outlets, hold sales.
