I found out that the first quater with George washington on it came out in 1932 to pay tribute to the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. I don't know why he was on the dollar but I do know that the first one dollar bill came out in 1957. I hope this helped!

I heard that George Washington is on the $1 bill because it is the most circulated (and thus more popular).
