Incorrect. As shown by link above.
Also to say that he had no connection with Washington, Tyne & Wear, is just pure stupidity considering it's historic fact.
Yeah, I've already mentioned that on Grutness' talk page, he was just mistaken that's all. hedpeguyuk 1 July 11:00 (UTC)
Why would this article have a little comment noting Washington Town in England as 'the original'. Unlike a lot of American cities which were indeed named for English towns, Washington, D.C. was named for a person not a town. --71.163.118.20 (talk) 07:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

editAn IP has suggested that Tyne and Wear no longer exists as a geographic entity. The UK Government thinks otherwise. See here and here and here. Dormskirk (talk) 16:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
