George Washington is a life-size terra cotta statue by the Danish-American sculptor Nels N. Alling and located in the city of Perth Amboy in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.

[1][2] General Washington viewed Perth Amboy, then the colonial capital of New Jersey, as important in the defense of New York City during the American Revolutionary War.

In June 1776, he established a flying camp, a strategic reserve unit, in the city with General Hugh Mercer in command.

[6] On Labor Day, 1894, Scandinavian immigrants in Perth Amboy had a parade highlighting local industries and including a float with a bust of George Washington.

[9] The life-size 6-foot (1.8 m) terra cotta statue, on a 10-foot (3.0 m) pedestal, is located in Market Square, next to the Perth Amboy City Hall, and facing north along High Street.
