United States stock markets will be closed on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day .

The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will close early at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 3 and remain closed Friday. The U.S. bond market will also close early at 2 p.m. ET on July 3 and remain closed on July 4, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association .

The origins of the Fourth of July date back to when Philadelphians marked the first anniversary of American independence with a "spontaneous celebration," which is described in a letter by John Adams to his daughter, Abigail, according to the Library of Congress.

However, the annual observation of the holiday only became a regular occurrence after the War of 1812, where events such as groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were scheduled to coincide with Fourth of July festivities. Congress passed a law making Independence Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1870.

After shuttering for the 4th of July, it will be business as usual on Wall Street until early September. The next scheduled stock market closure is on Monday, Sept. 1 in observance of Labor Day.
