Areas We Serve: Georgetown, Texas

Georgetown, Texas, the county seat for Williamson County, is located 26 miles north of the state's capital in Central TX. The city is known for its robust economy, a favorable climate, its historical Victorian homes and its popularity with retirees who enjoy affordable housing and numerous recreational opportunities.
The earliest settlers of the region were the Tonkawa Indians. European settlers were drawn to the area for the same reasons as the Tonkawa: fertile land, an abundance of fresh water and timber. Georgetown was founded in 1848 and named for George Washington Glasscock, who donated the land for the new town. While the establishment of Southwestern University in 1873 and construction of a railroad in 1878 contributed to the town's growth, Georgetown remained a farming community with modest growth until 1960. Nearby Austin, TX was experiencing major growth and residential, commercial, and industrial development spilled over into Georgetown.
