The population was 501 at the 2010 census. It takes its name from George Washington. George has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[3] The city is known for being near the Gorge Amphitheatre, sometimes called "The Gorge at George". The Gorge Amphitheatre was the location of the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival. The city also celebrates national holidays such as the Fourth of July, and Washington's Birthday, with cherry pies. It bakes the world's largest cherry pie every year on July 4, and serves it to the crowd.[4] HistoryGeorge began as a large irrigation district between Quincy and Moses Lake. In the early 1950s, the need for a town to support the local agriculture business was evident, and the Bureau of Land Management agreed to {{convert|339|acre|km2}} for this purpose. The sole bid was that of a local pharmacist, Charlie Brown, who invested his own money into the venture and solicited planning help from a University of Washington instructor. The plan included streets, utilities, etc. When filing the papers for the town with the BLM, Brown decided that the town should be named as a respectably humorous salute to the first President of the United States, George Washington.[5] The citizens of the town have named their streets after varieties of cherries grown in the area, such as Bing and Royal Anne.[6] The town was officially incorporated on July 4, 1957 at a ceremony including Governor Albert Rosellini and a {{convert|1,000|lb|adj=mid}} cherry pie.[5][6] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|1.33|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.[7] ClimateAccording to the Köppen Climate Classification system, George has a cold desert climate, abbreviated "BWk" on climate maps.[8] Demographics{{US Census population|1970= 273 |1980= 261 |1990= 253 |2000= 528 |2010= 501 |estyear=2017 |estimate=507 |estref=[9] |align-fn=center |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[10] 2015 Estimate[11] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[12] of 2010, there were 501 people, 131 households, and 109 families residing in the city.
