Philadelphia is known as the City of Brotherly Love, but it could also be called the City of Motherly Love.
That is because Mother's Day was founded by Philadelphian Anna Jarvis in 1908.
"First officially observed in 1908, it honored motherhood & family life at a time of rising feminist activism. An early supporter was John Wanamker, whose store stood opposite. Mother's Day was given federal recognition, 1914."
