George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) and the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Washington was raised in colonial Virginia as the son of a prosperous planter. He worked as a surveyor as a young man before fighting in the French and Indian War (1754-63).
He led the colonial forces to victory over the British during the American Revolution and became a living legend. He was elected president of the convention that drafted the United States Constitution in 1787.

Washington was elected as America’s first president two years later. Recognizing that how he handled the job would influence how future presidents approached it, he left a legacy of strength, integrity, and national purpose. He died at his Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, at the age of 67, less than three years after leaving office.
