History: Customs collection districts were established in more than 100 coastal, river, Great Lakes, and inland ports by the act establishing the Customs Service (1 Stat. 29), July 31, 1789. In 1913, a single district was established in each state and territory, with a customhouse at the headquarters port of each district. Customs collectors were responsible for collecting duties; recording financial transactions; admeasuring and documenting merchant vessels; administering customhouses and, until 1852, lighthouses; collecting and accounting for funds for marine hospitals; and, until 1871, administering revenue cutters. Captains of vessels arriving at U.S. ports from abroad were required by an act of March 2, 1819 (3 Stat. 489), to submit a list of passengers to the collector of customs. Upon occasion the collector acted as the depository for federal funds and collected taxes for the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
