The Marine Corps was established on November 10, 1775, when the Second Continental Congress authorized two battalions of Marines. These Continental Marines were organized at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Samuel Nicholas was appointed as the first Commandant and helped lay the groundwork for the Corps future development.
