Georgetown, South Carolina

Georgetown is the third oldest city in the state of South Carolina and the county seat of Georgetown County. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 9,163.
The city is at the heart of Indigo and rice production for its commerce. The city goes back to Spanish settlement in the 1520s where it was one of the first places in North America to have slaves. However, that settlement failed due to a fever epidemic. The current city has its roots in the 1720s and thrived off of trade with the local tribes. From there it shifted to labor based economy crops that are still the heart of the local economy.
