St. Patrick’s Day has been celebrated for over 1,000 years in honor of Saint Patrick the patron saint of Ireland.

Ireland has celebrated his life ever since his death on what is believed to be March 17, 461 with the cultural story Legend of St. Patrick. The first known celebration of St. Patrick’s Day using a parade was recorded in what is now St. Augustine, Florida on March 17, 1601. On March 17, 1772, Irish soldiers marched in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York City, then in Boston and other cities.

From that moment on many cities across the country have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in their own way other than parades, like the city of Chicago dyeing the Chicago River green to celebrate the day.
