Congress established the Judicial Branch of government (what some consider the entire federal court system) in the Judiciary Act of 1789, under the authority of Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution.

That depends on how you consider the question. The Judicial Branch, outlined in Article III, was theoretically established when the Constitution was ratified in June 1788. But it didn't become an operational reality until the First Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789 on September 24, 1789.

President Washington nominated the first six justices (the number the Act called for) on September 24, and the Senate approved the appointments on September 26. The US Supreme Court, head of the Judicial Branch, convened for the first time on February 2, 1790 at the Merchant's Exchange Bulding (also called the Royal Exchange) in New York City, the first capital of the US.
