Robert Morris was the first person appointed Secretary of the Treasury by George Washington, but Morris declined this office; thus the first Secretary of the Treasury was Alexander Hamilton, who was appointed at Morris's suggestion. Morris had held a similar position as Superintendent of Finance under the Continental Congress.
