Georgetown is a small community in Kent County, Maryland, in the United States. It is called an unincorporated community. This means it is not a separate town or city with its own local government. Instead, it is part of the larger county.
The community of Georgetown was started a long time ago, in 1736. It was named after Prince George. He later became the King of the United Kingdom. Georgetown is located on the south side of the Sassafras River. You can find it near the Maryland Route 213 bridge. It is north of Galena and south of Cecilton. On the other side of the river, in Cecil County, is another community called Fredericktown.
Two important places in Georgetown are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These are the Nellie Crockett and Valley Cottage. This means they are special and protected because of their history.
