The answer depends on how you define "President."\n\nGeorge Washington was the first President of the United States under the current US Constitution.  However, the constitution was not ratified until 1789.  \n\nPrior to the constitution, the US was run under The Articles of Confederation from 1781-1789.  The first president under the Articles of Confederation was Samuel Huntington.\n\nThe US won its independence in 1781.  However, independence was declared in 1776.  At the time, the US was run by the Continental Congress.  Its presiding officer was John Hancock.\n\nThe attached article gives a complete list of presidents prior to the constitution.

Your best bet is to check two books by Congressional Quarterly:\nUnited States Congressional Elections, 1788–1997, and Congressional Quarterly’s Guide to U.S. Elections. \n\nThe first election was in 1790 and they elected members of Congress about the same way we do today. The group of people allowed to vote was much smaller - white males with property. \n\nHere is the list of the First Congress arranged by states. If some of the names seem familiar, it is because many signed the Constitution (several became president: Monroe and Madison)\n\nCONNECTICUT (5)\n- ELLSWORTH, Oliver 1745-1807 Senator Pro-Administration \n- JOHNSON, William Samuel 1727-1819 Senator Pro-Administration \nHUNTINGTON, Benjamin 1736-1800 Representative Pro-Administration \nSHERMAN, Roger 1721-1793 Representative   \nSTURGES, Jonathan 1740-1819 Representative   \nTRUMBULL, Jonathan, Jr. 1740-1809 Representative   \nWADSWORTH, Jeremiah 1743-1804 Representative   \n\nDELAWARE (1)\n- BASSETT, Richard 1745-1815 Senator Anti-Administration \n- READ, George 1733-1798 Senator Pro-Administration \nVINING, John 1758-1802 Representative   DE 1\n\nGEORGIA (3)\n- FEW, William 1748-1828 Senator Anti-Administration \n- GUNN, James 1753-1801 Senator Anti-Administration \nBALDWIN, Abraham 1754-1807 Representative Anti-Administration \nJACKSON, James 1757-1806 Representative Republican \nMATHEWS, George 1739-1812 Representative   \n\nMARYLAND (6)\n- CARROLL, Charles (of Carrollton) 1737-1832 Senator Pro-Administration \n- HENRY, John 1750-1798 Senator Pro-Administration \nCARROLL, Daniel 1730-1796 Representative Pro-Administration \nCONTEE, Benjamin 1755-1815 Representative Anti-Administration \nGALE, George 1756-1815 Representative Pro-Administration \nSENEY, Joshua 1756-1798 Representative  \nSMITH, William 1728-1814 Representative  \nSTONE, Michael Jenifer 1747-1812 Representative \n\nMASSACHUSETTS (8)\n- DALTON, Tristram 1738-1817 Senator Pro-Administration '\n- STRONG, Caleb 1745-1819 Senator Pro-Administration MA 1\nAMES, Fisher 1758-1808 Representative Pro-Administration \nGERRY, Elbridge 1744-1814 Representative Anti-Administration \nGOODHUE, Benjamin 1748-1814 Representative Federalist \nGROUT, Jonathan 1737-1807 Representative Anti-Administration \nLEONARD, George 1729-1819 Representative Federalist \nPARTRIDGE, George 1740-1828 Representative   \nSEDGWICK, Theodore 1746-1813 Representative Federalist MA 1\nTHATCHER, George 1754-1824 Representative Federalist MA 1\n\nNEW HAMPSHIRE (3)\n- LANGDON, John 1741-1819 Senator Pro-Administration \n- WINGATE, Paine 1739-1838 Senator Anti-Administration \nFOSTER, Abiel 1735-1806 Representative Pro-Administration \nGILMAN, Nicholas 1755-1814 Representative   \nLIVERMORE, Samuel 1732-1803 Representative Federalist \n \n\nNEW JERSEY (5)\n- DICKINSON, Philemon 1739-1809 Senator Pro-Administration \n- PATERSON, William 1745-1806 Senator Pro-Administration \nELMER, Jonathan 1745-1817 Senator Pro-Administration \nBOUDINOT, Elias 1740-1821 Representative Pro-Administration \nCADWALADER, Lambert 1742-1823 Representative Pro-Administration \nSCHUREMAN, James 1756-1824 Representative Federalist \nSINNICKSON, Thomas 1744-1817 Representative Federalist\n\n\nNEW YORK (6)\n- KING, Rufus 1755-1827 Senator Pro-Administration \n- SCHUYLER, Philip John 1733-1804 Senator Pro-Administration \nBENSON, Egbert 1746-1833 Representative Pro-Administration \nFLOYD, William 1734-1821 Representative Anti-Administration \nHATHORN, John 1749-1825 Representative Anti-Administration \nLAURANCE, John 1750-1810 Representative   \nSILVESTER, Peter 1734-1808 Representative \nVAN RENSSELAER, Jeremiah 1738-1810 Representative   \n\n\nNORTH CAROLINA (5)\n- HAWKINS, Benjamin 1754-1818 Senator Pro-Administration \n- JOHNSTON, Samuel 1733-1816 Senator Pro-Administration \nASHE, John Baptista 1748-1802 Representative Anti-Administration &#92;\nBLOODWORTH, Timothy 1736-1814 Representative   \nSEVIER, John 1745-1815 Representative Republican\nSTEELE, John 176

False!  He was not the first president of the United States.  There was someone else, although I'm not sure of his name.  The inaguration I beleive was either in Philadelphia or New York.

John C. Calhoun who was the vice president during Andrew Jackson's first term in office. I am assuming you mean states rights and not states fights.

He took the oath of office on April 30, 1789.  \n\nI hope this and the website I posted help you!!!

Unsordid is not a word.  I think you mean sordid.\n\nIn response to your question, I don't really know the history, but I will say that the fact that the USA was insturmental in the early aspects has no affect on what they are today.  Very morally confused.

On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.\n\nGeorge Washington is often called "the father of his country" for his crucial role in fighting for, creating and leading the United States of America in its earliest days. Washington was a surveyor, farmer and soldier who rose to command the colonial forces in the Revolutionary War. His success in the war made him a tremendously popular figure in America even after he retired to his farm at Mount Vernon in 1783. He was the natural choice to serve as the country's first president in 1789 after the new United States Constitution was ratified. He served two terms, refused a third, and returned to his Virginia farm. In 1798 he was again commissioned as commander in chief of the army, a title he held until his death 18 months later. He was succeeded as president by John Adams.\n\nMore info in the links, if you need it!

Washington, D.C., is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." stands for the "District of Columbia", the federal district containing the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States. The District of Columbia and the city of Washington are coextensive and are governed by a single municipal government, so for most practical purposes they are considered to be the same entity. However, although there is a municipal government and a mayor, as per Article I, Section VIII, of the United States Constitution, Congress has the sole authority over this federal district. It is commonly known as the District, D.C., or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City.
