Banks and post offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4, due to Independence Day. However, most major restaurant, grocery and retail chains will remain open on the holiday.

Companies like Walmart, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A and Target will keep their doors open on the federal holiday this year. However, the stock market will also be closed on Thursday.

The origins of the Fourth of July date back to the time when Philadelphians celebrated the first anniversary of American independence with a “spontaneous celebration,” described in a letter from John Adams to his daughter Abigail, according to the Library of Congress.

However, annual observance of the holiday did not become a regular occurrence until after the War of 1812, when events such as the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were scheduled to coincide with the Fourth of July celebrations. Congress passed a law on June 28, 1870, making Independence Day a federal holiday.
