George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County in the Colony of Virginia. He was homeschooled from age 7 to 15. He would later go on to learn from others including schoolmasters and woodsmen. He trained as a land surveyor and would later become an official surveyor.

A popular legend about Washington involves him as a young boy having chopped down his father’s cherry tree. When questioned about the tree, he told his father “I can’t tell a lie, Pa”.

He married Martha Dandridge Custis in 1759. They would not have any children of their own. Martha had two children, from a previous marriage, that George helped raise.

In 1775, Congress appointed George as the commander of the newly formed Continental Army. He would serve as the commander-in-chief through the Revolutionary War, helping to win America’s independence from Britain.

After the war, George was called upon to help unite the country. He was elected as the first president in 1789. George served two terms as president from 1789 to 1797. He did not have a political party because he did not like the idea of them. He retired to his home, Mount Vernon. On December 14, 1799, George passed away in Mount Vernon, Virginia. George Washington has his face carved on Mount Rushmore and his portrait is also on the quarter and the dollar bill. He is called the “Father of His Country”.
