George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States, as elected under the US Constitution. Previously there had been "congressional" Presidents, and those under the Articles of Confederation (1781) had the title "President of the United States in Congress Assembled". But they were not the executive officers of the country.

The first president of the Continental Congress was Peyton Randolph of Virginia in 1774. The first president of the US Congress under the Articles of Confederation was John Hanson of Maryland from 1781 to 1782.
