Salvation Army Origins and American Arrival Timeline
The Salvation Army began in 1865 in London under William Booth. It grew from a small tent revival to an international movement, facing persecution before expanding to the United States with open air missions in Philadelphia and New York by 1880. Presidental endorsements followed from Grover Cleveland in 1886 and have continued since.
