History of July
Why Is It Called July? How July Got Its Name
In the Roman calendar, the month of July was initially called Quintilis (the Latin word for ‘fifth,’ since it was the fifth month of the calendar). However, in 44 BC, the Roman Senate honored Julius Caesar after his assassination by renaming Quintilis to Julius (July). In Ancient Rome, July was also the month of the Ludi Apollinares, a festival dedicated to the god Apollo, which included games and theatrical performances.
So, next time you’re marking off your July’s summer vacation, remember that this seemingly ordinary month has a fascinating history behind it.

History of Independence Day – Why July 4th is celebrated?
Are you curious about the history of Independence Day and why we celebrate it on July 4th? Well, buckle up because I’m about to give you a rundown of some important historical facts!
On July 4th, 1776, the Second Continental Congress, represented by the 13 American colonies, declared their independence from Great Britain by signing the Declaration of Independence. A committee of five drafted the document, including Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration expressed the colonies’ complaints against the British government, along with an announcement they’ll create a new country.
Although the agreement was signed on July 4, it was not formally adopted until July 8. This resulted in not all of the colonies celebrating the event. John Adams (one of the signers of the Declaration) actually thought that July 2nd should be the day recognized and celebrated because it was the day the Congress voted in favor of independence. July 4th was declared a federal holiday in 1941.
Today, on American Independence Day we celebrate with:
- Fireworks
- Parades
- Picnics
- Listening to political speeches
- Visiting patriotic displays
History of Bastille Day
The Bastille Day celebrated on July 14th, is a significant day in French history. It commemorates the fall of the Bastille prison, a symbol of the French monarchy’s tyranny. The event marked a turning point in the French Revolution and the beginning of the end of the French monarchy.
The Bastille Day is a national holiday in France and French people celebrate it with:
- Parades, including the famous military parade on the Champs-Elysées in Paris
- Fireworks
- Other festivities

Supplies to Print Your Free July Calendar Printables
These are some of my favorite printing and planning supplies:
Printers
Paper
Pens & Highlighters
Frixion erasable pens are amazing! They come in black, blue, and a mix of bright colors, and they aren’t like the erasable pens I grew up with that made a mess of paper and didn’t really erase. They erase easily, look great, and are my most favorite pens to plan with because I can color-code events, and I can easily erase them when things change.
- Black Frixion Erasable Pens
- Blue Frixion Erasable Pens
- Colorful Pack of Frixion Erasable Pens
If you want a pen that doesn’t erase, the BIC Gel-Ocity pens are my favorite. They write so smoothly and are a pleasure to use. According to my Amazon history, I’ve purchased the 12 pack linked below 14 different times so my love for them is pretty serious!
Highlighters
These Frixion Highlighters are just as great as the pens! They erase beautifully, don’t damage paper, and make my color-coding dreams come true!
If you like a more subtle highlighter, these Mildliner Highlighters are gorgeous. I like to use these when I want a softer look, and I’m certain I won’t need to change or erase anything. They also have ink on both ends so you can easily make different sized lines.
Post-it Notes
I love post-it notes. They’re great for reminders, organizing ideas, quick decluttering labels, and even bookmarks! I like to use post-its in various colors, sizes, and sometimes different shapes too. The heart notes are a great way to leave little love notes for your partner or kiddo. These are my favorites:
- Bright Color Pack
- Pastel Notes
- Heart-Shaped Sticky Notes
And that wraps up our July overview, my friends! It’s time to embrace the summer vibes, plan those vacations, and make lasting memories. From the exciting celebrations of Independence Day to the intriguing history behind the name “July,” this month is packed with significance and meaning.
