The first mental asylum in the United States, known as the Pennsylvania Hospital, was established in 1752 in Philadelphia. However, the first dedicated mental institution was the Eastern State Hospital, which opened in 1773 in Williamsburg, Virginia. These institutions marked the beginning of organized care for individuals with mental health issues in the country.
