George Washington University
The George Washington University is a private federally-chartered research university in Washington, D.C. Originally named Columbian College, it was chartered in 1821 as Washington, D.C.'s first university by the United States Congress. GW is one of nation's six federally chartered universities.
In his last will, President George Washington left shares to endow a university in the nation's new capital.
President James Monroe was among GW's founding benefactors and approved the university's Congressional Charter. Monroe's house is located on the university's Foggy Bottom campus.
