IMPROVED ANSWER:
It was decided by the members of the Second Continental Congress, that agreed that George Washington was to lead the Continental Army.

The Second Continental Congress began meeting in Philadelphia in May of 1775, soon after the battles of Lexington and Concord. Patriot leaders in Massachusetts urged the Congress to take charge of the militia units outside Boston and raise an army strong enough to challenge the redcoats. On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress, established the Continental Army. The next day, George Washington was made the army's commander in chief. The Congress soon named 13 more generals soon afterward. It then had to figure out how to recruit troops, supply an army, and pay for the war.

Washington took command of the military camps near Boston on July 3. 1775. He immediately worked to establish order and discipline in the army. The militia units were poorly trained and undisciplined. They lacked weapons and overall organization. Their camps were filthy. Most soldiers had volunteered for service to defend their families and farms. They expected to return home after a few months. Washington issued a flood of orders and dismissed junior officers who failed to enforce them. Soldiers who disobeyed were punishment.

Answer 2

He was voted almost unanimously by the 2nd Continental Congress.
