Known for its historic significance, superb cultural amenities, and exceptional medical care, Georgetown offers visitors a relaxing, low-key way to enjoy the four seasons in the area. The town was recently featured in a National Geographic Adventure Magazine article. In addition to its many historic buildings, Georgetown is also home to several historic plantations. For a full picture of the charms of this seaport city, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting Georgetown, be sure to explore its historic district. It is home to many ghosts, and locals will attest to their existence. You can even take a lantern-led night tour to confirm your own suspicions. While you are here, don&#8217;t miss out on the Georgetown Historic Tram Tour, which covers three hundred years of history in just one hour. You can also opt to visit nearby cities that are within a 25-mile radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can also take a boat tour through the city&#8217;s marshland and intracoastal waterways. You can even listen to stories about pirates and plank-walking. You can also check out the waterfront of Georgetown, which boasts two major marinas. Hazzard and Harborwalk provide a convenient way to access the water. Located at the mouth of the Little River, this waterfront is home to the state&#8217;s second-largest seaport. In 1993, it completed a six-million-dollar streetscape project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downtown area is bounded by the Haborwalk, which overlooks the picturesque Sampit River. Tourists should not miss the chance to explore Georgetown&#8217;s historic buildings, art galleries, and restaurants. In addition to a variety of restaurants and museums, Georgetown hosts an annual Wooden Boat Show, held along the waterfront. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a day at the beach or a weekend with your family, Georgetown offers something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Georgetown district experienced significant economic changes during the Civil War. The Civil War led to a decline in rice production in the area, but the local economy continued to thrive. By 1840, Georgetown had become the largest rice-exporting port in the world. The profits from this trade helped create a wealthy European-American elite. This group of planters also built elegant manor houses and furnished them with elegant furniture. During the twentieth century, Georgetown rebounded by attracting new industries. The timber industry, paper industries, and steel industries thrived in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elisha Screven laid out the streets of Georgetown in 1729. His initial plan reserved areas for Baptist, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches. Today, the original city grid is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many original homes remain in the city. The Georgetown planters relied on slave labor for the production of indigo, which was profitable and produced wealth. The town&#8217;s prosperous agricultural trade led to the establishment of the Winyah Indigo Society. The society also founded the town&#8217;s first free school, which still stands today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town&#8217;s rich history stretches back to the early settlement period, the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War. Before the Revolution, Georgetown was primarily known for its indigo cultivation. The bounty was provided by the British Parliament, which enabled planters to make fortunes in a relatively short time. Once the Revolution ended, however, the market for indigo dried up and the planters turned to rice as their main crop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The port city of Georgetown is nestled in eastern South Carolina between Myrtle Beach and Charleston.
