While staying across the river in Chocowinity, North Carolina, we visited the larger city of Washington a couple of times. According to that Wikipedia article, it is commonly known as "Original Washington”; it was established in 1776, and is the first city named after President George Washington. (Washington, DC was founded in 1791.)
