History of Georgetown, South Carolina
South Carolina's third oldest city, Georgetown was a "port of entry" in the 1700s, allowing foreign boats into its harbor to dramatically increase its prosperity. In the 1800s, the city's economic success rested upon its rice plantations, while the 1900s saw it blossom with the evolution of its lumber industry. Today it remains a historic waterfront town just miles away from Charleston.
