Thanksgiving Day history Thanksgiving has a special significance to American people. It is one of the most important holidays which might be considered uniquely American. Its origin goes back to the first half of the 17th century. In the year 1620, a ship named Mayflower brought over a hundred English men and women to the coast of North America. When they landed in America, they founded a colony called Plymouth. Half of them did not survive the severe winter. The others didn’t die only because the native Indians helped them and showed them how to plant corn. In October 1621 the Pilgrims organized a feast to celebrate the good harvest and to thank God for his blessings. The main dish was roast turkey. They called that day Thanksgiving day.
