Town of Washington
In July 1749, a 17-year old George Washington, assisted by two chainmen, laid out the Town of Washington in the same 5-block by 2-block grid that exists today. The town was officially established by the Virginia Assembly in 1796. Flanked by the rolling hills of Rappahannock County, the town and county retain a rustic charm. Quaint B&Bs, art galleries and shops and an array of cultural venues make it a peaceful yet vibrant community.
