Georgetown is a small place in Ohio, United States. It's called an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or village. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Short Creek Township in Harrison County.
You can find Georgetown west of Adena. It is located right where two roads meet: Cadiz-Harrisville Road (also known as U.S. Route 250) and Georgetown Road (County Route 41).
History of Georgetown
