On this day in 1872, Arbor Day was celebrated for the first time in the U.S. Nebraskans celebrated by planting more than one million trees. The occasion fulfilled the dream of J. Sterling Morton, a newspaper editor and former governor of the Nebraska Territory. Morton, an ardent proponent of forestation, lobbied for a holiday to encourage the planting of trees. In 1885, Nebraskans changed the date to April 22nd in honor of Morton’s birthday. Arbor Day is now officially celebrated worldwide, usually on the last Friday in April.
