FUN FACTS
» July in other languages: German - juli, French - juillet, Italian - luglio, Portuguese - julho, Spanish - julio.
» July starts on the same day of the week as April in every year, and January in leap years.
» July was named by the Roman Senate in honor of the Roman general, Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth. Prior to that, it was called Quintilis.
» Independence Day became a federal holiday in 1870. The holiday does not celebrate the signing of the Declaration; it celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress.
» Jefferson’s original draft of the Declaration of Independence was lost and the one eventually signed is the “engrossed” document.
» Today, the original copy of the Declaration is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
