I'm European, but I always thought Washington was the first. Sorry if I'm wrong.

John Hanson was the best president of all times. The First President of the United States Was A Black Man.A Moor he was the first to serve under the Articles of Confederation.George Washington was not the first President of the United States. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson. Don't go checking the encyclopedia for this guy's name - he is one of those great men that are lost to history. If you're extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name.This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land). Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.He served 1781-1782.

Actually no. Thomas Jefferson's wife had died before he became president so his daughter was the "First Lady," and later his friend, Dolley Madison took over the duties.\n\n"Several women, other than wives of presidents, have served as first lady. This situation has arisen due to the president being a bachelor or widower, or when the wife of the president is unable or unwilling to fulfill the duties of the first lady herself. In these cases, the position has been filled by a female relative or friend of the president."

I assume you are asking if he was the first President of the United States. This is a common misconception. He was the President of the United States in Congress, a title given to the head of the legislature under the Articles of Confederation, a brief experiment between the Revolution and the Constitution, which had no executive branch, and thus no president, at least as we conceive him. He was instead something like a prime minister, though even that is a stretch. He had very little real power in his position. Besides, if you're really going to say that his position is equivalent, then the first president would have to be Peyton Randolph, who served as the President of the First Continental Congress.

George Washington was the first President of the United States of America. However, there were several "presidents" before him, some of the Continental Congress, others of the Confederated States. However, these were not executives at all and did not have any real authority. They were merely the presidents of the legislature. They were, in fact, called President of the United States in Congress Assembled. Of those, the first was Peyton Randolph.

Benjamin Harrison is the only United States president from the state of Indiana. Not only was he the 23rd president (serving from 1889-1893), but he was also the centennial president, inaugurated 100 years after George Washington. He was also the 23rd president
