The history of the VA, Department of Veterans Affairs, dates back to 1636. When the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony were at war, they decided to pass a law stating that disabled soldiers would be supported by the colony. However it wasn’t until 1811 that the federal government authorized the first domiciliary and medical facility for Veterans and in 1917 during WWI Congress set up a new system of Veterans benefits. It was in 1930 that President Hoover helped establish the Veterans Administration.
