With its rich history and natural beauty, Georgetown is a town with a long-standing tradition of community spirit. Residents and businesses have joined together to create a community innovative in business and committed to the needs of families.

Georgetown - with a population just under 5,000 - is the seat of government for Sussex County, and the town’s outstanding quality of life is enhanced by its prime location in the center of the county.

Due to the central location and being the County Seat, Georgetown is home to a major campus with four colleges, significant medical facilities that represent three hospitals, federal, state and county offices and Sussex County’s only public airport. The town’s center - “The Circle” - is listed in the National Historic Record with a number of historic buildings, including the Sussex County Courthouse. Town and community life revolve around The Circle, where many events take place, including Return Day, a biannual festival that celebrates the winners of that November’s election.
