City of George, Washington

City of George, Washington Located in the heart of the Columbia Basin, George is home to over 900 residents. The winning (and only) bid was that of the local pharmacist, Charlie Brown.

Known for our agricultural roots, vibrant community, and name honoring the first president George Washington. History
George began as a large irrigation district between Quincy and Moses Lake. In the early 1950s, the need for a town to support the local agriculture business was evident, and the Bureau of Land Management agreed to 339 acres (1.37 km2) for this purpose. Brown invested his own money

into the venture, and with help from a University of Washington instructor, the town structure was planned. The plan included streets, utilities, etc. When filing the papers for the town with the BLM, Brown decided that the town should be named as a respectably humorous salute to the first President of the United States, George Washington.
