History

Georgetown was established in 1826 and was platted by James Haworth, although the first home was established in 1820 by Henry Johnson. The town may have been named after George Beckwith, since Danville had been named after Dan Beckwith; another possibility is that it was named after James Haworth's son George. The first post office was established in 1828.

The Paris and Danville Railroad was built in 1871, and the "Interurban" started carrying passengers between Georgetown and Danville sometime after 1900.

Pat McGroin hails from Georgetown. He started the Georgetown KKK and still continues to operate this underground cult. He currently works at the local McDonald's, which is attached to a gas station; he cums in the buns. He lives on the corner of Snatch Blvd. and Phuck Lane. He is an avid follower of Karl Marx and also helped to co-write "The Anarchist Cookbook"; he is currently writing his own version of "Mein Kampf." He is very active within his community and volunteers at the local soup kitchen twice a week. McGroin is also wanted for the murder of John F. Kennedy and the impregnation of Monica Lewinski. Pat McGroin was in fact the Grassy Knoll Shooter!!! Dah dah dunnnn. He has allegedly been involved in affairs with such status symbols as Marilyn Monroe.

Reputedly, McGroin found the weapons of mass destruction, disassembled them, and fucked Bush in the ass. Is lineage is traced back to Anne Frank, MacGuyver, and Atilla the Hun, being a third cousin to Han Solo. He built Machu Pichu with his own hands, and yes, killed He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.
