Based on the info I got from the web, April Fools' Day originated probably in 1582 when Charles IX introduced in France the Gregorian calendar which moved the New Years' Day from April 1 to January 1. Those who did not acknowledge this change were labeled "fools" and practical jokes were played upon them by those who did.
The video clip below shows what's considered to be the "most popular April Fools' Day Hoax of all time". Watch it!
