First called Forks of the Tar, the city name was changed in 1776 in honor of Gen. George Washington. Because it was America’s first city to be named for Gen. Washington, it is sometimes referred to as “The Original Washington” or “Little Washington” to avoid confusion. The entire waterfront of Washington is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
