Fool’s Day
In 16th-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April First. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the new year fell on January First.
background
There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April First. Others played tricks on them and called them April fools.
