Origin of the Date
In the 16th century, in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, in an area called New England, the residents held a feast to celebrate that year's harvest. This was because they experienced a very harsh winter.
Starting in 1620, after very bad weather, pilgrims settled in this village to celebrate the harvest.
In 1621, to give thanks again for the harvest, the village governor organized an "autumn meeting" between the British settlers and the Native Americans. The event included various dishes of corn, fish, duck and turkey.
Since then, the feast has become a tradition in the United States and Canada. Other countries that celebrate Thanksgiving Day are: Grenada (Caribbean), Liberia (Africa), Norfolk Island (Australia) and the Netherlands (Europe).
