In 1887, President Grover Cleveland signed the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, creating the Interstate Commerce Commission. The creation of a regulatory agency came as a result of public resentment, especially from farmers, on monopolistic practices by large railroad companies.[1][2] In the decades that follow, the scope of the ICC grew beyond the railroad industry.[3][4]
