Lincoln’s Birthday 2025 falls on Wednesday, February 12th, and is the 216th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in American history, and his birthday is commemorated as a federal holiday in the United States.
Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Hodgenville, Kentucky, in 1809. He grew up in poverty and had little formal education, but he was a voracious reader and taught himself law. He entered politics in 1834 and served in the Illinois state legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives before being elected president in 1860.
