Georgetown is the county of Sussex. It has attached to itself an interesting story of itself. This town was created in 1789 by Tobacco exporters. The first mayor if this town was a tobacco exporter. Lands were slowly acquired in this town for the federal government by people such as George Washington and Benjamin Stoddert. Almost ten state appointed people and lead by the Senate Mitchell George made the first major advancement in making the presence of Federal Government known. They purchased more than 70 acres of land in the middle of Sussex County. This gave way to the construction of the town in a circular manner starting from town square. Court house was created in 1791 along with the jail and made this place the official county of Sussex. Georgetown was also the home for the vice president Thomas Jefferson for a brief period of time. It was also a major hot spot for slave trading before the slave trade was made illegal. The town got its economic development in the form of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad which opened it for imports and exports of products.
Only after the American Revolution did the town of Georgetown became a property of the government under independent municipal government. Before the civil war, the town suffered badly because of silting rivers and dying businesses. Only after the reopening of the Q Bride after the beginning of 19th century did trade began coming back to the town. The town was connected back to the Rock Creek Park. It is home to one of America’s best Universities known as the University of Delaware. George town today is a well-developed city with hotels, shops and restaurants that serve from high end customers to everyone else.
