The Salvation Army was founded in London's East End in 1865 by one-time Methodist minister William Booth and Catherine Booth. Originally, Booth named the organization the Christian Mission, but in 1878 Booth reorganized it along military lines when his son Bramwell objected to being called a "volunteer" and stated that he was a "regular" or nothing. The name then became The Salvation Army.
