George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United
States on April 30, 1789. His inauguration took place on the balcony of
Federal Hall in New York City, which served as the capital at that time.
Washington's presidency marked the beginning of the constitutional
government under the newly adopted United States Constitution. His
leadership set many precedents for future presidents, establishing key
practices and norms that would shape the office of the presidency for
centuries to come.
