Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. It was first observed in 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War. The day was set aside to decorate the graves of soldiers who had died in the war. Over time, Decoration Day became known as Memorial Day, and it was expanded to include all soldiers who had died in service to the United States.
