Chauncey · Answer 1

During the Johnson administration (of the president Lyndon B. Johnson, not Andrew Johnson) two new cabinet-level departments were established:

Department of Housing and Urban Development (established on September 9, 1955)

and

Department of Transportation (established on October 15, 1966)

The 20th (1900-1999) century saw the most growth in the cabinet. About 8-9 departments I think.
