April Fool’s Day 2023: History
Some historians claim that the date of April 1 may be traced back to 1582, when France changed from the Gregorian to the Julian calendar.

The start of a new year on the Julian calendar occurs around April 1. As a result, some individuals who learned about the calendar shift late persisted in celebrating the New Year at the end of March despite widespread ridicule. Those who didn't realise that January 1 was now the new year were dubbed "April Fools."

In the eighteenth century, April 1st became widely celebrated in Britain. Scotland is where the tradition of celebrating April Fools Day began, and the two-day holiday has since spread to other countries.
