Beginnings [1]

The Town of Washington was settled in 1734. In 1741, the Judea Society of Woodbury was organized, and in 1753 another parish at New Preston. A town was incorporated in 1779, the first in the country to be named for George Washington.

Washington is a mountain region, cut by the deep gorge of the Shepaug River and noted for its scenery. In 1935 there was a large summer colony on Lake Waramaug, as well as many estates in the vicinity of Washington Center.
