Beginnings [1]

Washington originally was a boat-landing site on the Missouri River. The town was called Washington Landing when William G. Owens bought a ferry and property around the landing during the 1820's. Following his death in 1834, the task of laying out the town of Washington was undertaken by his wife, Lucinda, and son-in-law John F. Mense. The town was incorporated by Lucinda Owens on May 29, 1839.
