It was created by President Warren G. Harding in 1922 and was originally called the White House Police. In 1970, President Nixon expanded its duties to include protection of foreign embassies and the agency's name was changed to the Executive Protective Service. The name was changed to the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division in 1977.

According to the US Secret Service website, the the Secret Service Division was created on July 5, 1865 in Washington, D.C., to suppress counterfeit currency. It wasn't until 1894 that they started unofficial part time security detail for President Cleveland. Since the agency was founded in July of 1865, it must of have been created by President Johnson, who took over the presidency after the death of President Lincoln in April of 1865.
