It’s Sunday but, for many of us in America, it’s a long weekend. We have celebrated Labor Day the first Monday in September since 1894 when President Grover Cleveland designated it as a day to celebrate working people.

So, if you’re not working Monday, thank this guy.

His full name was Stephen Grover Cleveland but I guess Stephen Cleveland didn’t have much of a ring to it or just wasn’t as cool as Grover so he went by that middle name.

The New Jersey native was a former teacher, lawyer, sheriff, mayor of Buffalo and New York Governor before becoming our 22nd and 24th President. He is our only President to win two non consecutive terms.

We don’t talk about President Cleveland much but we do have him to thank for this long weekend. So strike up the grill, take a road trip and raise a glass to the American worker.
