The oldest orphanage in America is the New York Foundling Hospital, founded in 1869 by the Sisters of Charity of New York. Established to care for abandoned children, it played a significant role in providing shelter, education, and social services. The Foundling Hospital was instrumental in shaping child welfare practices in the United States and continues to serve children and families today.
