Yes, George Washington was the first President of the United States. This can be qualified as "first President under the Constitution" or the first President who was an elected executive of the country. More importantly, the men who are often listed as earlier presidents were those presiding over Congress, not acting as individual leaders of the country.

(see related question)
George Washington was the first "elected" President of the United States.
Between 1776 and 1789 several men held the office of President before him; but they were appointed by the Continental Congress; they were not elected by the people.
