Georgetown, County seat in Williamson County, Texas.
Georgetown stands north of Austin with Victorian buildings surrounding a central square, where local shops and restaurants line the streets.
Founded in 1848 and named after George Washington Glasscock, the city grew substantially after Southwestern University opened its doors in 1873.
