Description

The streets of Georgetown, one of South Carolina's oldest cities, were laid out in 1729. Surrounded by the Pee Dee, Black and Waccamaw rivers on the east and the Sampit River on the west, this Low Country bottomland was perfect for growing rice, indigo and cotton. Located on a bustling seaport, tons of goods flowed in and out of Winyah Bay. Financed by this steady flow of commerce, Georgetown's wealthy plantation owners built beautiful mansions and stately homes, decorating them with the finest furnishings and artwork money could buy.
Today's Georgetown Historic District is still centered on the original town grid, lined with huge live oaks that arch over the streets. Here alongside the Sampit River, Georgetown visitors enjpy the bustiling scenes along Front Street's Harborwalk parallels Front Street. Here, area restaurants and shops are adjacent to the colorful sites maritime sounds at the marina and Sampit River.
