George Washington was absolutely a Republican. He and the other founding fathers formed a Constitutional REPUBLIC, they were very clear about that. The word Democrat is derived from the word Democracy. The founding fathers despised democracy.
Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution specifies that every State in the United States was to have a Republican form of government: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…"
"Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." -John Adams, 1814
"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind." -Thomas Jefferson, 1790
"A primary object…should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing on its legislature than to patronize a plan for communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?" (The Real George Washington, p. 672)

Who was the first democratic president?
The first president to be elected by the Democratic Party was Andrew Jackson. The Democratic Party arose from the earlier Democratic-Republican Party, and many Democrats see its beginnings there. The first president elected by the Democratic-Republican Party was Thomas Jefferson. The word "democrat," with a small 'd,' denotes a political process rather than a political party. So the question, without capitalization, asks who was the first democratically elected president; this was, of course, George Washington, if you are asking about the presidents of the United States.
