Charles Town, Founded BY Brother
OF George Washington, One of the
Real Historic Spots of America.
Town Dates Officially Back to 1887,
But There is Evidence That Its
Real Beginning Was in 1850.
Traditions of Charles Town

History and sacred tradition runs
rampant in Charles Town. whose
graceful streets and rolling hills, as
we'll as many of its older homes. bear
testimony TO the part played here by
American forefathers. in their eff
forts to hew out of wilderness the
new nation.
Charles Town was founded about
1887 by Charles Washington, brother
of the illustrious Father of His Coun-
try. on land owned by the founder.
The records indicate that George
Washington traversed all this land
both by way of exploration during
his life as a surveyor, and even in the
after years. when he had risen to his
position of dominance in American
affairs.
The main street of the town.
Washington street, is named after
the founder, while the principal
cross streets. Mildred. Charles.
George. Samuel and Lawrence are
all named for members of the Wash
ington family, and serve to bear out
the tradition of which Charles Town
has such reason to be proud.
In this town. in the Colonial days,
there conferred splendid social life,
of the type which lowered during
American Colonial Days. and which
was reminiscent of the life of the
Cavaliers in England and in France.
There are abundant records of this
early life. which flourished so beau
tifully as to leave its impress deeply
upon the lives of the generations
that followed after. Near Charles
Town is located Hardwood. the home
of Col. Samuel Washington, brother
