It was the first to take place in the "City of Brotherly Love" and also the first on the date fixed by the Continental Congress for inaugurations. Before an assembly of congressmen, Cabinet officers, judges of the federal and district courts, foreign officials, and a small gathering of Philadelphians, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States William Cushing administered the oath of office.
