Halloween started in Ireland about 2,000 years ago with a group of people called the Celtics. They believed in a god called Samhain who was the god of dead and darkness. October 31st was considered the end of the year and as a result they threw a large celebration, which was known as Samhain. This celebration of the autumn harvest and the Celtic new year, when they believed spirits could come back and visit with living relatives.
In the 7th century the Pantheon in Rome was dedicated to all the Christian martyrs on May 13th, then in the 8th century Saints Peter's Basilica was dedicated to all the saints on November 1 - All Saints Day. Hallowe'en is short for "All Hallows Eve" which means "All Saints Eve". A couple of centuries later All Souls Day was added as a day to honor and pray for the dead.
The word "Halloween" is the Scottish/Irish word for All Hallows Eve. The feast day of Samhain, which is the Irish holiday that is well-known for becoming a part of Halloween, cannot be traced back to an exact date of origin. Some of the Irish sagas are supposed to have taken place around the time of Christ. In Irish Halloween is called Oiche Shamhna (Samhain Eve or November Eve).
Modern Halloween has developed over a period of centuries, absorbing different folk customs along the way, and has been heavily shaped by American culture. It was brought to America in the 19th century by Irsh and Scottish immigrants.
Halloween was brought to America in 1840.
