The History Of August by bilms(m): 11:23am On Aug 01, 2012
As we are all welcome to August, let us not forget to learn the history of August. The month of August was named to honor Augustus Caesar. It was originally the sixth month of the year and was called Sextilis and had 30 days. February made the sacrifice by allowing a day to be taken off and added to August to make it 31 days to honor Augustus Caesar who reformed the Julian calendar and in the process, he renamed August month after himself. This is the fun of the Month of August, which was moved from 6th month of the year to become the 8th month. I want to take one day off from August and also rename the month after myself by 2015
