The Secret Service began in 1865 as a Treasury division to combat rampant counterfeiting of greenbacks. Led by William P. Woods with 30 men, it soon arrested about 200 counterfeiters. It later gained authority to protect the president in 1907 and permanent protection in 1951, while also shielding currency, government securities, and mints.
