GEORGETOWN, the county seat of Sus- sex county, is in the western part of George- town hundred, and almost in the center of the county. Its location was selected in order to afford a convenient place for the transaction of county business. The county seat was removed to this place under the provisions of an act of the Delaware Legislature, of Janu- ary 29, 1791; and the name of Georgetown was given it by an act of October 26 of the
same year, in honor of Commissioner George Mitchell, one of the principal promoters of the movement. The town is handsomely laid out in squares, with wide streets crossing at right angles, and well shaded by trees. The coun- ty court-house, of plain and old-fashioned ar- chitecture, is honored for its interesting asso- ciations, as it has been frequented by many of the most noted historie personages of the state.
The surrounding region has good and fer- tile soil, which yields crops of cereals in abund- ance, besides the fine fruits which are with good reason the pride of Delaware. The town is yearly increasing in wealth and commercial activity. It has several excellent newspapers, five churches, and a number of good public schools. Its population is nearly 2,000. A number of secret societies have organizations here; there is also a State Grange.
