Widely admired for his strong leadership qualities, Washington was unanimously elected president in the first two national elections. He oversaw the creation of a strong, well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars, suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion, and won acceptance among Americans of all types. Washington's incumbency established many precedents, still in use today, such as the cabinet system, the inaugural address, and the title Mr. President. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term. The 22nd Amendment (1951) now limits the president to eight years in office.
The city is known for being near the Gorge Amphitheatre, sometimes called "The Gorge at George". The Gorge Amphitheatre is the host of the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival.
The city also celebrates national holidays such as the Fourth of July, and Washington's Birthday, with cherry pies. It bakes the world's largest cherry pie every year on July 4, and serves it to the crowd.
History
George began as a large irrigation district between Quincy and Moses Lake. In the early 1950s, the need for a town to support the local agriculture business was evident, and the Bureau of Land Management agreed to 339 acres (1.37km2) for this purpose. The winning (and only) bid was that of the local pharmacist, Charlie Brown. Brown invested his own money into the venture, and with help from a University of Washington instructor, the town structure was planned. The plan included streets, utilities, etc.
The statue depicts Washington dressed in breeches with an apron and medallion decorated with Masonic symbols. Washington holds a tri-cornered hat in the crook of his proper left arm, and a gavel in his proper right hand. He wears an open overcoat with buttons and has a short podium to his proper right. Washington's attire depicts the first President as he may have looked when he laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The sculpture is mounted upon a stepped, inscribed granite base.
The base of the sculpture is inscribed with the following:
George Washington Carver (c. 1860 – 5 January 1943), was an American botanist and inventor. The exact day and year of his birth are unknown; he was born into slavery in Missouri, either in 1861, or January 1864.
Carver's reputation is based on his research into and promotion of alternative crops to cotton, such as peanuts,and sweet potatoes, which also aided nutrition for farm families. He wanted poor farmers to grow alternative crops both as a source of their own food and as a source of other products to improve their quality of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for farmers contained 105 food recipes using peanuts. He spent years developing and promoting numerous products made from peanuts; none were commercially successful. He was also a leader in promoting environmentalism. He received numerous honors for his work, including the Spingarn Medal of the NAACP.
He was widely recognized and praised in the white community for his many achievements and talents. In 1941, Time magazine dubbed Carver a "Black Leonardo".

Who is George Washington Carver? He wasn't the first President of the United States, even though his name is very similar! In this video, you and your kids will learn about this incredible scientist. You will discover many interesting facts about the history and life of this special man. For instance, George Washington Carver's exact birth date remains a mystery! Because he was born into slavery, his birth records were not kept. And he, one of his sister's, and his mom were kidnapped by Confederate raiders when he was a baby! He was eventually found, however, and returned to the Carver farm where he was born.
Unlike other boys his age, George didn't work in the fields. He was taught how to tend to the kitchen garden. And what a stroke of luck for the world! George learned all about plants and how to improve their health. He was very intelligent and graduated high school at a young age. His passion for plants led him to study botany in college. After graduating, he was asked to teach agriculture at a Tuskegee College.
Throughout his life, he discovered many wonderful things about plants that would end up helping farmers grow larger and healthier crops. These discoveries spread throughout the world. One of the most famous is his realization that growing and harvesting peanuts every other year or so with cotton kept a specific pest away from the crops and yielded healthier soil. Even though many farmers resisted initially, George came up with several inventive uses for peanuts that would make growing peanut crops worthwhile.
George Washington Carver's life work earned him several special nicknames: The Plant Doctor, The Peanut Man, The Farmer's Friend. We celebrate him and his life on January 5, George Washington Carver Recognition Day.

Who is George Washington Carver? He wasn't the first President of the United States, even though his name is very similar! In this video, you and your kids will learn about this incredible scientist. You will discover many interesting facts about the history and life of this special man. For instance, George Washington Carver's exact birth date remains a mystery! Because he was born into slavery, his birth records were not kept. And he, one of his sister's, and his mom were kidnapped by Confederate raiders when he was a baby! He was eventually found, however, and returned to the Carver farm where he was born.
Unlike other boys his age, George didn't work in the fields. He was taught how to tend to the kitchen garden. And what a stroke of luck for the world! George learned all about plants and how to improve their health. He was very intelligent and graduated high school at a young age. His passion for plants led him to study botany in college. After graduating, he was asked to teach agriculture at a Tuskegee College.
Throughout his life, he discovered many wonderful things about plants that would end up helping farmers grow larger and healthier crops. These discoveries spread throughout the world. One of the most famous is his realization that growing and harvesting peanuts every other year or so with cotton kept a specific pest away from the crops and yielded healthier soil. Even though many farmers resisted initially, George came up with several inventive uses for peanuts that would make growing peanut crops worthwhile.
George Washington Carver's life work earned him several special nicknames: The Plant Doctor, The Peanut Man, The Farmer's Friend. We celebrate him and his life on January 5, George Washington Carver Recognition Day.

Widely admired for his strong leadership qualities, Washington was unanimously elected president in the first two national elections. He oversaw the creation of a strong, well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars, suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion, and won acceptance among Americans of all types. Washington's incumbency established many precedents, still in use today, such as the cabinet system, the inaugural address, and the title Mr. President. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term. The 22nd Amendment (1951) now limits the president to eight years in office.
