Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Beautiful Historic City of Washington Ga. Fort Washington is home to the cache your looking for which is a small round container located somewhere here on the premises of this historic Fort. Thanks to the City of Washington for allowing me to place this cache. Below is some history on Fort Washington.

Fort Washington Park is the site of a stockade built by the family of Stephen Heard, governor of Georgia - 1781. Cherokee and Creek Indians had ceded their land on June 1, 1773, and the settlers from Virginia arrived in December 1773. During the revolutionary period, this stockade was named Fort Washington in honor of General George Washington. In 1780 the revolutionary government of Georgia granted a charter to lay out a city to be named Washington, the first incorporated city in the country to be named for George Washington, nine years before he became our first president. The John Nelson Stone is also located here which was moved six miles north of the Fortson Place where the granite marker originally was located. Inscribed on the marker are: the year 1775, when John Nelson received a land grant from King George III of England; the year 1792, and the land grant survey. Located off the Public Square behind the courthouse in Washington, Georgia City of Washington, 1996
