The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is an Act of Congress and signed into law by US President Woodrow Wilson. The Federal Reserve System's original purposes were to give the country an elastic currency, to provide facilities for discounting commercial paper and to improve the supervision of banking.
It was recognized, however, that the System would be given broader powers in the future.
It created the central banking system, the Federal Reserve, and laid the foundation of the modern U.S. financial system. It included prevention of financial panics with readily available cash from a money reserve, an expanding-contracting money supply to match the state of the economy, and the federal reserve note.

It is not federal in the sense of being owned by the government. It's just a name, like Federal Express. The U.S. Federal Reserve banking system was created in 1913 by a group of bankers. The Federal Reserve Act was the brainchild of banker Paul Warburg, a partner in the investment firm Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and a representative of the Rothschild banking house. Congressman Carter Glass of Virginia co-authored the Federal Reserve Act [aka Owen-Glass Federal Reserve Act of 1913]. It was based on a report from a subcommittee of the House Banking and Currency Committee headed by Glass. But Warburg was the key player in the creation of the Act. Emmanuel Goldenweiser managed the Federal Reserve Board during its first 30 years.
