Who was the first president?

Okay so we all have been taught the first president was Washington but he was the first president after the radification of the Constitution.. Does anyone know who the actual first president was? Before Washington there was around 12-14 presidents. They were elected by the Continental Congress, they served 1 year terms. Anyone know the names of the presidents and especially the first?

Thank you.

Update:

I REPEAT for god's sake,, GEORGE WASHINGTON was not.. I repeat NOT the FIRST PRESIDENT. I want to know about the ones before him.
