April 30, 2024: 235 years ago, on April 30, 1789, George Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States at Federal Hall in New York City. This followed the first presidential election, which had been held on January 7 of that year, in which Washington defeated John Adams. Adams would become the nation’s first vice president and succeed George Washington as president eight years later.[1]
