How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
September 1st through history
Poland invaded, and a nation's children labelled
On September 1st 1939 German forces crossed the Polish frontier. In Britain, which had guaranteed Poland’s borders, the same morning brought Operation Pied Piper: over three days some one and a half million people, most of them schoolchildren, were moved out of the cities by train, luggage-labelled and carrying a gas mask and a change of clothes. Billeting was often settled in a village hall, where householders picked out the children they liked the look of.
A little before one in the morning on September 1st 1985 the crew of the research vessel Knorr, watching a feed from a towed camera sledge, saw a ship’s boiler lying on the seabed two and a half miles below them. Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel had found the Titanic, seventy-three years after she sank.
A passenger pigeon called Martha died at Cincinnati Zoo on September 1st 1914, the last of a species that had once crossed North America in flocks estimated in the billions. She had outlived every other member of it by four years.
The Isle of Man produced the Bee Gees. Barry Gibb, the group’s co-founder and chief songwriter, was born there on September 1st 1946, his twin brothers Robin and Maurice three years later, and the family moved on to Manchester and then Australia. The actress and comedian Lily Tomlin was born in 1939 and the singer Gloria Estefan in 1957.
Born on September 1st: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Barry Gibb and Gloria Estefan — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Virgo — an Earth sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Maiden.
Birthstone
Sapphire for September.
Birth flower
Aster (primary), also Morning Glory — most commonly cited sources agree on aster as the main September flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — sapphire for the stone, Virgo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
