Saint Patrick was not actually Irish.

The first American celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day was in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737

Nine of the people who signed our Declaration of Independence were of Irish origin, and nineteen Presidents of the United States proudly claim Irish heritage–including our first President, George Washington.
