The Coast Guard was first formed as “The Revenue Cutter Service†by authorization of the Tariff Act signed into law on Aug. 4, 1790, by President George Washington.
The law, originally proposed by Secretary Alexander Hamilton, authorized the construction of ten “cutter†vessels intended to combat smuggling by enforcing federal laws on tariff and trade.
