It's a common misconception that this city was initially named after the nation’s first president but in fact, this city was founded in 1825 by William Holland, Sr., a blacksmith from North Carolina. The first post office however, took after the first U.S. President and later became the name of the city in 1837.

What really put the city on the map was the famous Heyl Pony Farm.

Washington is just ten miles east of Peoria, the “River City,” of central Illinois so you can visit this city and explore its neighbors as well!
