Ralph Nader inspired GIS Day as a day for geography awareness.The first-ever GIS Day was held on November 19, 1999, during Geography Awareness Week from November 14-20, 1999.But it was actually the National Geographic Society, Association of American Geographers (AAG), and Esri, who really put the day into action on November 19, 1999.
