It was made in 1809 by public subscription of £2,500 by the ordinary people of Birmingham following Nelson's visit to the town on 31 August 1802, the year before he sailed against the fleets of Napoleon. The statue was unveiled on 25th October 1809, that being the day decreed as the official golden jubilee of George III.
