Washington is a small city overlooking the Palico River near the North Carolina coast. Known variously as “Little Washington” and “The Original Washington,” this unassuming community holds the distinction of being the first city to name itself after George Washington, more than a decade prior to his election to the presidency.

The charming riverside community fosters a timeless atmosphere of southern charm and rich culture, with its thriving Downtown district featuring a huge selection of cozy cafes, friendly taverns, and unique specialty shops. The river offers terrific opportunities for boating and fishing, and the surrounding countryside provides countless venues for spending quality time outdoors, whether you’re exploring the trails of Croatan National Forest or spending a beach day at Cape Hatteras.
