How did April Fool's Day start?

Answer: 

April Fools’ Day history is a bit of a mystery. No one really knows the true story of April Fools’ Day, but some historians believe it goes back to a calendar change in the 16th century. Before the modern Gregorian calendar was created – the one we still use today – New Year’s Day actually fell on April 1st! Apparently when the switch was first made, some folks were resistant and wanted to continue celebrating the new year on the 1st of April. This eventually gave them the nickname “April fools” – a possible origin to the holiday’s name!
