It is always the 1st Monday of September. So, it can fall between September 1 & September 7 — & as my table above shows, it has.
So, September 2 is at the front of the range. But, NOTHING special. All the days are equal.
It last fell on September 2, 5 years ago, i.e., 2019.
6 years gaps are the norm for this kind of fixed-day, yearly holidays — given we have 7 days in a week. But, with Leap Years in the MIX, as is the case this year, it can get reduced to 5. But it was 6 years prior to that.
The 11 year gap between 2002 and 2013 was caused by Leap Years. 7 days in a week & 4 years between leap years.
