(Extract? from tb? article written

Washington Is t be first town In
the United State? to be named for
George Washington. The present
cite of the city waa onoe a large for
est, Inhabited by IadMtas. The soil
was Hch and th? aoi*oundlng sec
tions were full of mw^roducta that
,could be easily destined. A band
of people received a A art p r from the
lx>rd Proprietors and came to this
territory to settle. They toon be
gan to clear lands and build home?.
Kome attempt was made to discover
rold. but they noon flwad out that
I here was no pay U* thin, so they
became farmer?. Their farms bp
came large plantation? afterwards,
when slare? war? brought over here.
The town is situated on the land
which originally belonged to Colonel
James Bonner and & Mr Youpg.
General Blount first laid off the
town. The part which was first laid
fitl. jjtm fl.veo Jbe. ?aAp Water
street, which nanreit bears todiy.
As the population increased, n^pre
streets were mapped out and church-,
ei and homes were built. Tb* first J
church to be erected was the Epis
copal, then came the Methodist, fol
lowed by the Missionary Baptist and
the Presbyterian. Some of the old
est building? Hn the town ?t the
present are the home* of Miss Sallie
Havens, Miss Llda Rodman, Mrs.
Telfair, the Edward Long house, the
De Mllle house and the Masonic
lodge. 4
The academy was the first school
that any one has any record of and
it was first taught by a Mr. Howard.
The second teacher was Mr. Hitch
cock and the third, Miss Ran ford.
Trade was carried on between Waah
Ington and the West Indie?, the prin
cipal exports being pitch, tar, tur
pentine. lumber and shingles. The

In the early days travel was done
by state coaches, the routes of
wbioh ran from Washington to New
Bern, Tarboro, Plymouth and Green
ville. Trip? were m*d* three or four
time? a week. There were few ho
tels. the "Wlswall hotel" being one
of the early one* end located at the
site occupied norw by Davenport's
pharmacy.
After the Revolutionary war
Washington 'became very prosperous.
People from the surrounding coun
ties oame here to bring iholr pro
duoe and buy their goods. Wash
ington was also a great social cen
ter. Many families resided a short
distance from town and their homes
were thrown open for parties and
dances. They owned slaves and had
little else to do than enjoy life.
During the war of 1812 a fort
was erected to protect the town from
the British warships. It was built
near the present site of the N. 8
depot. The first bridge ^ras erected
across the Pamldco in 1784. It was
owned fcy prtrat^- lndfetdnal* and
they charged toll for every person
or vehicle that crossed It.
At the outbreak of the civil war.
Washington had a population of
3,600 aixl was a flourishing little
town. It euffer?d greatly during that
period of strife and many buildings
were destroyed. The rebuilding of
the city was slow at first, bnt later,
the real growth of Washington be
gan. Owing to the Increase In trade
a Hteamahlp line was established in
Washington. Three steamship com
panies had boats that carried on
trade here, boeldee the sailboat* and
other vessels. The Isrgest company
was the Old Dominion line.
The llret railroad to run through
Washington nur the Washington &
Jamesvllle. The main object of this
road was the Aaultng of logs to the
Tiver. This company also put on n
passenger train later.
