I think it became a holiday in the 1890s, but wasn't nationally celebrated until a few years later.

One hundred and twenty two years old. It has a history started with strife in the form of a railroad strike. 30 people lost their lives. You have to know where you have been to discover where you are going.

Not sure. I know it was late 19 century. But May 1 was the preferred labor day in the US until communists declared it was the labor day. May be we should have both for a change.
