Texas has been ranked as one of the best small towns in America. Located

Texas Hill Country, Georgetown is convenient to both city nightlife and

is also one of the fastest growing communities in Central Texas.
Georgetown was founded in 1848, and its historic town square
is lined by Victorian storefronts facing the

County courthouse. Georgetown was the recipient of a "Great American
Main Street Award" in 1997. The historic district around downtown
