Georgetown County, Administrative division in South Carolina, United States.
Georgetown County spans over 1,034 square miles, encompassing coastal areas, rivers, and inland territories along the Atlantic seaboard of South Carolina.
The county, established in 1769 and named after King George III, developed through rice cultivation and maritime trade on Winyah Bay.
The area maintains four museums focused on maritime history and rice production heritage, with numerous antebellum structures listed in the National Register.
The region connects to major transportation routes through Georgetown County Airport and lies within 65 miles of Charleston and 35 miles of Myrtle Beach.
The convergence of four major rivers - Sampit, Black, Great Pee Dee, and Waccamaw - creates Winyah Bay, forming South Carolina's second-largest seaport.
