― George Washington
George Washington was the first president of the United States. Prior to his presidency, he commanded the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
He also served as chairman to the Constitutional Convention, the body that wrote the American Constitution.
Did you know? A number of myths have surrounded the Father of the United States. One is that he had wooden teeth - actually, his false teeth were made of materials such as gold wire and hippopotamus ivory.
Another myth is that he chopped down his father's cherry tree then said "I cannot tell a lie." This story was actually the invention of a bookseller in the 1800s.

Although cameras were not yet in existence during his lifetime, we know what George Washington looked like because his portrait was painted many times.
Today, he serves as a symbol of America. His likeness can be seen on the face of the quarter dollar coin and the one-dollar bill, as well as numerous postage stamps.
Two universities have been named after him, as well as the iconic Washington Monument, an obelisk located in Washington, D.C.
