National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15 to October 15 to celebrate the contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central American and South America. The observance began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon B. Johnson, and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan on September 13, 1988 to cover a 30-day period. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988.
