President Chester A. Arthur was instrumental in cleaning up the New York Customs House. Before his presidency, he served as the collector of customs there and was involved in reform efforts to combat corruption. His experiences in this role helped shape his later commitment to civil service reform during his presidency. Arthur's efforts were part of a broader movement during the late 19th century to address corruption in government positions.
