There were actually SEVEN presidents before George Washington. They are known to history as the "Presidents under the Articles of Confederation" and had the official title of "President of the United States in Congress Assembled." The first was John Hanson (1781-82), and the next six presidents were Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788). There were actually sixteen Presidents of the Continental Congress, but John Hanson, the ninth, was the first to serve as President under the Articles of Confederation and the first to hold the title "President of the United States." To read more about these men, see http://www.marshallhall.org/hanson.html and http://capo.org/kmsc/presidnt.html

There was actually someone before Washington but I cannot recall his name. It was before the Revolutionary War ended. John Hanson. After the revolution George Washington became the first president of an independent America.

Are you kidding me?!? How dumb are you? Even if you didn't know, you could just look it up.
Seikilos is not really correct. There was no "official" United States, not as a real, recognized country until later. So, that's like asking who was the president of a club called the "United States." I could call myself "President of the World" if I wanted, but that doesn't mean I actually am. Yeesh, think about what you're saying before you try to be clever.
