History The town is named after George Washington and was settled during the rule of the Spanish Empire. The town was originally known as St. John's Settlement, and was the location of the Spanish log fort San Juan del Misuri (1796-1803). Family and followers of Daniel Boone settled the area, starting in 1799. A ferry boat crossing the Missouri River was licensed in 1814 and the area became known as Washington Landing. A town was laid out in 1827 with sale of lots starting in 1829; the cost would be waived if the buyer would build a substantial home within two years. George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799)[1] led Americas Continental Army to victory over Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), and was later elected the first president of the United States under the U.S. Constitution. ...
