President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913; however, it's inaccurate to say Wilson "created" the Federal Reserve system. The bill was sponsored by Senators Carter Glass and Robert Owen, based on a bill originally introduced in 1908 by Nelson Aldridge, and was a compromise measure between Republicans, who favored the Federal Reserve and Democrats who opposed Wall Street's involvement in its operation. The Federal Reserve become operational in 1915.
