∙ 13y agoBenjamin Franklin was the first President of the American Philosophical Society. The Society was formed by Franklin in 1743 but did not establish a governing structure with a President until 1769.
Franklin was never President of the Continental Congress, the US under the Articles of Confederation, or the US under the Constitution. As governor of Pennsylvania (1785-1788) his formal title was "President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania" but he was certainly not the first to hold that office.
