Now Let’s read: HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING

The tradition of Thanksgiving started with the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts.

They first held a celebration of their harvest in 1621. The local Wampanoag Indians were invited.
The first time they called the feast "Thanksgiving" was in 1623, after rain had ended a long drought.
