By the numbers a storied holiday.

• Position: TRENDS & TRANSITIONS - Presidents Day - Statistical data

The third Monday of February is not actually "Presidents Day." It is still officially George Washington's Birthday, which is Feb. 22 and became an official holiday in 1880. Congress tried to add Abraham Lincoln's Feb. 12 birthday and rename it Presidents Day while debating the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill nearly a century later. Washington fans cried foul, and the name was never officially changed when the new law moved several federal holidays to Mondays in 1971. As is the American way, the retail industry embraced the Presidents Day moniker in an effort to make it a shopping holiday as well. In celebration, here is a numerical look at some interesting facts about a few of our 44 presidents.
