“Born in a Tavern”: How the U.S. Marine Corps Began (1775)
On November 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress authorized two battalions of Marines in Philadelphia, an origin story that tradition pins to a bustling brew house called Tun Tavern. The early “Continental Marines” served at sea and ashore; the date is still celebrated as the Marine Corps’ official birthday.
Whether every detail of the tavern legend is literal or partly myth, the symbolism stuck: a fighting force raised in a public house for a nation still being imagined. Within years, Marines had made their mark in Revolutionary War operations; after the war, the service disbanded and was later reestablished, but the Corps kept observing November 10 as its birthday.
