George Washington

In the 18th century, George Washington (February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731] – December 14, 1799) led America's Continental Army to victory over Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), and later became the first President of the United States, from 1789 to 1797. His role in the revolution and subsequent independence and formation of the United States was significant, and he is seen by Americans as the "Father of Our Country".

Many places and things were named after him, such as the State of Washington, the Washington, D.C., and the Washington Monument. His likeness was carved into the side of Mount Rushmore, along with other former presidents of the United States.
