History

Named after George Washington after it came under American control, the town was first settled during the rule of the Spanish Empire. It was originally called St. John Meyer's Settlement and was the site of the Spanish log fort, San Juan del Misuri (1796–1803).

Family and followers of Daniel Boone settled the area starting in 1799. In 1814, a ferry boat was licensed for crossing the Missouri River, and the settlement became known as Washington Landing. In 1827, a town was laid out, with lot sales starting in 1829. The land cost was waived if the buyer built a substantial house within two years, attracting many new settlers.

Substantial numbers of anti-slavery German families started arriving in 1833, eventually outnumbering the local slaveowners. Washington supported the Union in the Civil War, was ransacked by Confederate General Sterling Price, but he retreated and later left for Brazil.

After the war, Washington became a railroad and steamboat center. Although manufacturing remains strong, it is less vibrant than decades ago. The town has 445 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places—a state record. Heritage tourism is growing, helped by nearby Missouri Rhineland attractions.

Washington was also the site of the third season of the TV series Town Haul.
