The Coast Guard’s history dates as far back as the first lighthouse built in America in 1716 at Little Brewster Island, Boston, Massachusetts.
Though the Navy and Marines were founded in 1775, the predecessor to today’s Coast Guard, the Revenue Service, came into being Aug. 4, 1790, when President George Washington signed the Tariff Act, a bill Congress passed that had been written and submitted by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.
