Henry Knox was the first Secretary of War, in George Washington's cabinet, from 1989 until the end of 1794. He was succeeded by Timothy Pickering , from January 1795 until February 1796, just before Washington retired. Then, it was James McHenry, who continued under President Adams, until May 1800.
Under President George Washington's presidency, four key cabinet positions were established: Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, and Attorney General. These roles were filled by prominent figures of the time, including Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Knox as Secretary of War, and Edmund Randolph as Attorney General. This framework set the foundation for the executive branch of the U.S. government. Washington's cabinet played a crucial role in advising him and shaping early American policies.
