Hispanic Heritage Month dates back to 1968, however, at that time the celebration lasted only one week.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a bill designating the week of September 15 as “National Hispanic Heritage Week.”
It wasn’t until 20 years later that Hispanic Heritage Week became Hispanic Heritage Month under President Ronald Reagan.
In fact, the celebration became official after Public Law 100-402 was enacted on August 17, 1988.
