About Georgetown

Georgetown was established in 1848 as a trading center for nearby farming and agricultural communities. Georgetown was centrally located between the rich farmlands to the east and the hill country ranches to the west. The town got its name from George Washington Glassock, Jr. Today the City of Georgetown is a small but bustling community with more than 30,000 people calling the area home. This charismatic town sees an abundance of visitors yearly and provides valuable revenue to the city. In and around the downtown hub you will find many beautiful restored historic homes.

Many styles of architecture are represented here from the colorful gingerbread clad Victorians to quaint Bungalows, craftsman style homes, and brand new construction all are represented in the historic history of Georgetown.
