Welcome to the Town of Georgetown, a community with a small town charm, historic appeal, cultural diversity and excellent educational facilities – just west of Delaware’s award-winning beaches, and 16 miles from anywhere in Sussex County!
Georgetown has a long history spanning back to 1791 when the county seat moved there from Lewes, which was criticized for being too far from western Delaware. Originally, Georgetown was laid out in a large square, but that was quickly changed to the circle we all associate with Georgetown with the historic Georgetown Circle at the center.
