April fool's is a European Holiday that came over to the America's. I believe is started in France.
Allegedly, Prior to the Gregorian calendar, new year's day was celebrated in France on April 1st. Charles IX changed the French calendar to Gregorian and since news travels slow in them thar days or stubbornness to change people would still celebrate April 1st as New Year. Through time people who celebrated the new year on April 1st became known as fool's. This is one folklore.
