Chronology
Initially, I had intended to only list each headquarters once, but it became extremely complicated when houses were used multiple times over years or when Washington was moving around from one to another, trying to evade the British. I finally realized that creating a coherent chronology was more important than avoiding repetition.
There are some conflicts on exact dates.
Please feel free to expand the list, or make suggestions on how it could be improved.

The Eagle Tavern in the list mentions Newark, but gives a Jersey City address and coords. It's clear that the Great Retreat was via Newark, though it is also believed that Washington would come to Bergen Hill to view the situation in New York Harbor from atop the Hudson Palisades overlooking it.Djflem (talk) 08:42, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
