Georgetown, South Carolina
Georgetown is the third-oldest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina and the county seat of Georgetown County, in the Lowcountry. As of the 2020 census it had a population of 8,403, a decrease from the 2010 census of 9,163. Located on Winyah Bay at the confluence of the Black, Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers, Georgetown is the second largest seaport in South Carolina, handling over 960,000 tons of materials a year, while Charleston is the largest.
Beginning in the colonial era, Georgetown was the commercial center of an indigo- and rice-producing area. Rice replaced indigo as the chief commodity crop in the antebellum era. A timber industry also developed and sawmills were built.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.5 square miles (19.5 km2), of which 6.9 square miles (17.9 km2) are land and 0.62 square miles (1.6 km2), or 8.06%, is water.
Winyah Bay formed from a submergent or drowned coastline. The original rivers had a lower baseline, but either the ocean rose or the land sank, flooding the river valleys and making a good location for a harbor.
U.S. Routes 17, 17A, 521, and 701 meet in the center of Georgetown. US 17 leads southwest 60 miles (97 km) to Charleston and northeast 34 miles (55 km) to Myrtle Beach, US 701 leads north 36 miles (58 km) to Conway, US 521 leads northwest 82 miles (132 km) to Sumter, and US 17A leads west 32 miles (51 km) to Jamestown.
As of the 2020 census, Georgetown had a population of 8,403. The median age was 42.9 years, with 23.1% of residents under the age of 18 and 22.4% who were 65 years of age or older; for every 100 females there were 83.0 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 78.1 males.
99.5% of residents lived in urban areas, while 0.5% lived in rural areas.
There were 3,451 households in Georgetown, of which 30.7% had children under the age of 18 living in them. Of all households, 30.3% were married-couple households, 19.4% were households with a male householder and no spouse or partner present, and 44.4% were households with a female householder and no spouse or partner present. About 33.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 16.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
