Georgetown Located in Scott County, home of the venerable Georgetown College and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, which builds the Toyota Camry, Georgetown is located northwest of Lexington. The county was created in 1792 and named in honor of General Charles Scott, a Revolutionary War hero from Virginia. Georgetown, the county seat, was named for George Washington. Homes are more often brick than not.
Residences sit on lush lawns and can be one or two-story.
Baby horse farms can be found, and it is not uncommon to find places with stables and wooden fences. Paris Situated in Bourbon County, northeast of Lexington, Paris is in an area of rolling green fields. It is still possible to catch a glimpse of old Kentucky along the tree-lined roads winding through the most thriving horse country in the Bluegrass. Although hemp is no longer grown here, the old hemp barns remain, reminders of the prosperous tie to the cotton economy of the South. There are plenty of two-story homes shaded by mature trees to be found here, with new construction also dotting the countryside.
