There are various theories about the origin of April Fools' Day, the most popular one suggests it is related to France's switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. At that time, New Year's Day changed from April 1st to January 1st. Those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were jokingly called "April Fools" and became targets for jokes.
