GeorgeWashington's birthday is celebrated on February 22 using the Gregorian Calendar, but under the Julian Calendar, which was in use throughout Britain and its colonies at the time of this birth, he was born on February 11.
Washington was part of the economic and cultural elite of the slave owning planters of Virginia.
Washington was commissioned in 1754 as an Colonel in the Virginia Militia and built a series of Forts in the western frontier of Virginia.
Washington first gained public notice late in 1753 when he volunteered to carry a message from Gov. Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia to the French moving into the Ohio country, warning them to quit the territory, which was claimed by the British.
Washington is the subject of many legends, which often celebrate his honesty (such as the story of Washington and the cherry tree) or his strength (such as the tale that he threw a rock, or a silver dollar, across the Rappahannock River).
Washington was elected unanimously by the Electoral College in 1789, and he remains the only person ever to be elected president unanimously (a feat which he duplicated in the 1792 election).
