A game similar to soccer was first played in Boston, Massachusetts in 1862 - this team was the first to play a sport unofficially recognized, retroactively speaking, as soccer. The game itself could not have been soccer as this predates the formulation of official soccer rules in 1872.
The first attempt to form a governing body in American soccer happened in 1884, the same year as the foundation of the American Cup, which remained, for several decades, the highest-level tournament in the sport in the United States.
The first league was started up in New England in the 1890s, but disbanded around 1900. The NASL was founded in the 1970s, and disbanded in the early 1980s. Those were the first "soccer" leagues in the US.
Soccer was not created in the U.S. but was imported from England.
