The history of April Fools' day
April Fools' Day is a day to play tricks on your friends, family and coworkers and for them to prank you back. But have you ever wondered how this hilarious holiday originated?
How this annual tradition came about is a mystery, according to National Geographic.
However the most popular theory dates back to France in the 1500s. France changed its calendar so that the New Year would begin in January instead of late March or early April in order to match the Roman calendar. However, considering the time period word traveled slowly and the people who lived in the rural areas of the country continued to celebrate the new year in the spring. Hence, the country people became known as the “April fools.”
