According to a wiki, "In 25 ABY, the New Republic commissioned the New Republic Historical Council to re-standardize the Galactic Calendar. The historical council chose the Battle of Yavin, instead of the Battle of Endor, calling the former the more significant galactic event. From that point on, the year in which the Battle of Yavin occurred was the epoch used for the dating system. It was used by the New Republic, as well as the subsequent Galactic Alliance. Many regions, however, kept their own calendars, including the Imperial Remnant."

They were apparently already in a reorganization cycle - "The Great ReSynchronization was a 60-year-long notation system that was established in 35 BBY by the Republic Measures & Standards Bureau to recalibrate the disparate dating systems used by the Galactic Republic. In 25 ABY, it was disbanded and reorganized by the New Republic into the Galactic Standard Calendar." Which actually sounds like to me someone came up with this as a reason to justify using the Battle of Yavin as the epoch.

I'm not really sure why it matters so much to OP as real-life dating systems are all sort of arbitrary.
