Explanation:

[STC0014286]. In 1801, 25 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, President Thomas Jefferson hosted the first Fourth of July celebration at the White House. (The structure wasn’t inhabited for the first time until the year 1800.) A festival including horse racing, parades, food, and drinks was held on the northern grounds. Jefferson also hosted a White House reception for government officials, military leaders, and prominent people. The United States has celebrated its birthday before. ‘Yesterday the 4th of July, being the anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, was celebrated in this city with manifestations of joy and merriment,’ the ‘Pennsylvania Evening Post’ reported in 1777. At midday, all the river’s armed ships and gallies lined up in front of the city, decked out in their finest garb and flying the American flag and streamers.
