Overview
Georget
own
A true one-of-a-kind gem
in today’s modern world
L
ying square in the middle of
Delaware’s most picturesque
county, just a few minutes from
the Atlantic coastline and featuring
some of the most affordable living in
the United States, the historic town of
Georgetown is a true one-of-a-kind
gem in today’s modern world.
Having passionately embraced the
“slower lower” way of life that has
become synonymous with the southern
reaches of the nation’s first state, the
world seems to move a little slower
here – and that’s just how the thousands of people who today call the area
home like it.
Life is supposed to be less hectic
here – it’s expected that people stop
and smell the roses from time to time,
8
georgetowncoc.com
say hello to their neighbors and enjoy
all that life has to offer in what many
still refer to today as “God’s Country.”
Georgetown has changed over the
years, to be sure, but the nucleus of
what the town was in its infancy still
remains – the beautiful Circle in the
middle of town still welcomes visitors,
as well as residents and all those who
wish or need to conduct county business in the town’s government office
buildings.
The Sussex County Seat has always
been a welcoming municipality, and its
quaint charm and hospitable nature will
likely define the growing municipality
for decades to come – its people will
insist on it!
The reasons Georgetown has con-
tinued to grow and prosper through the
years and is now firmly planted as a
home of industry in southern Delaware
is because of its continuing appeal to
both long time residents, as well as
those moving to the area. Not far from
the beaches, Georgetown somehow
still maintains the historic feel of a
unique Sussex County small town.
The biggest change in Georgetown
in the last 20 years has been the large
influx of Hispanic residents who have
come to work at the town’s Perdue
poultry operation. As of the 2010
United States Census, Georgetown had
the highest percentage of Guatemalan
Americans anywhere in the country.
Approximately one-third of Georgetown residents as of the 2010 Census
were of Guatemalan heritage, with 46
percent being white, 15 percent black
and 4 percent Native American. Like
much of Delaware, Georgetown has
become an eclectic mix of different
personalities, different cultures and different ways of life.
Georgetown has become a special
place to live for men, women and children of any race and any nationality –
the perfect place to call home.
Again, according to the United
States Census Bureau, 6,422 people
lived within the corporate limits of
Georgetown in 2010, a more than 38
percent jump since 2000.
Numbers further reveal that 2,058
households make up the town, with a
homeownership rate of 52.7 percent.
The median income for a household in
Georgetown is $42,905, up considerably from the $31,875 level in 2000.
With a growing population, the
Town of Georgetown continues to
focus on amenities afforded to residents within its limits. The Town, for
example, provides sewage treatment to
most of Georgetown; the big exception
being the Perdue Plant on Savannah
Road, which has its own sewage treatment facility. The Town also provides
municipal water service to homes and
businesses located within its boundaries, operating six wells ranging from
145 feet deep to 350 feet deep (see the
Community Services section of this
publication for more information on
amenities).
The Town maintains on-street parking meter spaces around The Circle,
and on East Market Street. There are
also metered spaces on either side of
East Market Street on Race Street. Local merchants and the Sussex County
government maintain other parking
facilities in the central business district.
The amenities are abundant in
Georgetown, and Census numbers
certainly prove the area’s continuing
appeal. But at the heart of the matter is
the people, the businesses and the history that make up the long-time seat of
Sussex County.
Come and join us in one of Delaware’s friendliest towns – the one-of-akind charm of Georgetown, and all the
benefits of living here, awaits you!

History &Heritage

and the Nutter Marvel Carriage Museum.
G
eorgetown has a history as
rich and as colorful as any
municipality in the nation’s
first state, and it’s a history that longtime residents protect with a passion
and with an undying sense of place
and purpose. The origins of the Sussex
County Seat date back to the earliest days
of the country, to a time when a difficult
trip to Lewes across what was then very
swampy, hard to navigate land made
conducting business difficult. Believed
to have been named after State Senator
George Mitchell, the head of a group
of commissioners hired to purchase the
original tract of land, build a courthouse
and jail and sell lots in the central part
of the county, Georgetown officially
became Sussex County’s Seat of Justice
on Oct. 26, 1791. The decision to localize Sussex County’s Seat of Justice was
a proactive one – one that allowed the
county seat to be about 16 miles from
10
georgetowncoc.com
the eastern, northern and western borders
of the county and within 18 miles of the
southern border. But locals prefer to generalize those numbers, saying the county
seat is simply “16 miles from anywhere”
in the county.
James Pettyjohn’s Old Field
Prior to Georgetown being named
the county seat of Sussex in 1791, all
county offices were located in Lewes,
the location of Delaware’s first colony in
the new world. Lewes continued to serve
as the county seat through most of the
18th century, even as the population in
the western half of the county continued
to grow. In 1791, the act of “removing the Seat of Justice from Lewes to a
more central part of Sussex County and
for other purposes” was passed by the
Delaware General Assembly after 20
petitions signed by more than 900 residents of the county were presented.
The county government hired 10
commissioners, headed by Mitchell,
to purchase land in an area known as
“James Pettyjohn’s old field or about
a mile from where Ebenezer Pettyjohn
now lives,” as the original order states.
On May 9, the commissioners purchased 76 acres. The county courthouse
and jail were built in the southeastern
section of the town square and the
Seat of Justice was officially moved to
Georgetown in October.
Transferring power to the newly constructed courthouse at Pettyjohn’s Old
Field completed the process that began
in January.
The Circle
The center of the county seat was
born when Commissioner Rhoads
Shankland, following the purchase of
land, began a survey by laying out “a
spacious square of 100 yards each way.”
Eventually the town was laid out in a circle one mile across and centered on the
original square surveyed by Shankland.
The Circle is now listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Legend has it that a slave girl named
Liz was responsible for plowing the
center of the town square and planting
the trees there, though that has never
been proven. Around The Circle sits
many of the government office buildings of Sussex County. The Sussex
County Courthouse, the Sussex County
Administration Building, Georgetown
Town Hall and the historic Brick Hotel
are all centered around The Circle.
The Old Courthouse
Constructed in the final decade of
the 18th century, Georgetown’s original
county courthouse was built to look
very similar to the courthouse in use at
that time in nearby Lewes. The aging
structure, moved in later years to make
way for a new and improved courthouse,
was restored in 1976 and is the oldest
wooden courthouse still in use by the
court system, though only for special
occasions. The historic building is open
for public tours on the first Wednesday
of each month and by appointment. For
more information, call the Georgetown
Historical Society at 855-9660.
Georgetown Train Station
There is perhaps no building in
town that better exemplifies residents’
desire to keep history alive than the
old Georgetown Train Station. Nearly
destroyed by fire in 2011, the building
is poised to very soon retake its place
as a focal point of the town, displaying
the colorful past of the historic Sussex
County Seat. Purchased by the Historic
Georgetown Association (HGA) in 1996,
initial renovations to the decades-old station were completed in 2003 by a hardworking and committed team of local
volunteers. In 2012, the next round of
renovations, undertaken as a result of the
fire, should be complete.
The historic old station has a very
extensive and colorful past.
In1857, efforts to extend a rail line
from Harrington to the harbor at Lewes
were initiated. Though the line was
completed to Milford in 1859, additional
work was delayed until 1867. By 1868,
the rails had finally reached Georgetown.
The railway was extended to Lewes
the following year, and to Rehoboth
Beach and the lower Eastern Shore of
Maryland in the 1870s.
Located at the hub of this network,
Georgetown was transformed by a growing population and booming economy.
The town’s first passenger station was
located just north of the current site.
By the 1880s, a steady increase in the
number of travelers had resulted in the
need for a newer and larger facility. In
response to this demand, the construction
of the present station was completed in
1892.
The Georgetown Train Station served
as an office for various railway functions
until it was sold in 1972. The building
sat vacant until it was finally purchased
by the HGA in 1996.
Historical Societies
Georgetown boasts two groups dedicated to preserving the history of the
Sussex County seat.
The Georgetown Historical Society
and the Historic Georgetown Association
work tirelessly to preserve the history of
the town through many different means,
including workshops, meetings, presentations to church and civic groups and
conferences with local and state officials.
The Brick Hotel
This locally famous landmark was
constructed in 1836 by Joshua S. Layton
and Caleb B. Sipple, builders of the
Sussex County Courthouse across The
Circle. County courts were actually held
at the hotel during construction of the
courthouse from 1837-39.
Known for a time as the Union Hotel,
the Brick Hotel was a well-known
gathering-place for northern sympathizers during the Civil War. After the war,
business flourished with the coming of
the railroad. Later, with the advent of the
automobile, the number of lodgers began
to decline and the hotel was closed in the
mid-1950s. It was later renovated and
used as a bank until 1998.
The Brick Hotel, officially listed in
the National Register of Historic Places
in 1979, almost met its demise several
years ago when the State of Delaware
attempted to tear it down to make way
for a new Court of Chancery building.
Georgetown residents organized to save
the structure, and it was spared.
Today, former mayor Ed Lester and
his wife, Lynn, have turned the property
into a 14-room inn, complete with a bar
and a restaurant. Restored back to its
original glory, it has now become a popular gathering place in Georgetown.

Tourism & Event
s
he Sussex County Seat may not feature the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and all the water-related
activities that come with it, but what it does
boast is a connection to the area’s past that is
visible in every nook and cranny of the historic municipality.
Georgetown boasts two organizations committed to the history of the central Sussex
County town, as well as some of the oldest and most culturally significant structures
anywhere in the First State. It is this history
that makes the town what it is – and it’s a
history that locals embrace with passion and
12
georgetowncoc.com
vigor, protecting their town’s rightful place in
Delaware’s history books. Many visitors flock
to the town that is “16 miles from anywhere”
in Delaware’s southernmost and largest geographic county to visit these historic sites (see
the “History” section of this guide for more
information.) But others come to the town for
different reasons, including to attend some of
the most unique festivals and gatherings in
Delaware.
Here are just a few of the reasons to include
historic Georgetown on any travel itinerary
to the southern reaches of the nation’s First
State.
Return Day
Every two years, Georgetown hosts
the event for which it is most famous
– Return Day. Dating back to as early
as 1792, this biennial event features
a parade and festival two days after
Election Day – and its held regardless
of the weather, which, even if bad,
never seems to dampen the overall
mood of the day.
Stemming from colonial times
when the public would congregate in
Georgetown two days after the election to hear the results (because it
would take that long to deliver them
to the courthouse by horseback), the
day is marked by a traditional parade
around The Circle and the ceremonial
“burial of the hatchet” by leaders of the
county’s political parties. The hatchet is
buried in sand from nearby Lewes, the
original county seat of Sussex.
The afternoon of Return Day is a
holiday for county and state workers
in Sussex County, and the event is
marked by a traditional ox roast, much
revelry and, of course, the beginning
of the next round of campaigns. Many
in Delaware feel that the state’s historically friendly political climate is due,
in large part, to the tradition of Return
Day. While television and the Internet
have effectively eliminated the need for
Return Day, residents’ sense of tradition has kept the festival alive well into
its third century.
The day still boasts a carnival atmosphere unlike any other, complete with
merchants, food vendors and competi-
tions, such as a hatchet tossing contest, pitting the mayor of Georgetown
against the mayors of other Sussex
County towns.
The winner and loser of each race
ride together in a horse-drawn carriage
in a parade from Georgetown Middle
School to The Circle, where they are
announced and pass a reviewing stand.
Other participants in the parade include
current state officials, high school
bands and local pageant winners.
During the ceremony, the town crier
– which, for years has been former
mayor W. Layton Johnson – appears on
the balcony of the County Courthouse
and reads the results of the election in
Sussex County because, as he says,
they are the “only results that matter.”
For more information, visit www.
returnday.org or call the Return Day
office at 855-0722.
Easter Egg Hunt
The Georgetown Chamber of
Commerce hosts an annual Easter Egg
Hunt every April on the grounds of the
Marvel Carriage Museum. Children
from infant through age 11 are invited
to participate.
In addition to the main event,
there are also games, face painting,
entertainment and refreshments. The
Easter Bunny is also known to make an
appearance.
Georgetown Farmers’ Market
The Georgetown Chamber is
pleased to include in its lineup of
events and programs, the Georgetown
Farmers’ Market, located on the
grounds of the Town’s North Bedford
Street Park next to the Georgetown
Presbyterian Church.
The market is open every
Wednesday from 3-6 p.m. starting
Memorial Day and running thru Labor
Day weekends.
Featuring a wide variety of farmers
and their fresh foods (vegetables, flowers, fruit, breads, meats, organic dairy,
baked goods & desserts, specialty
products and more) the Georgetown
Farmers’ Market joins a host of other
markets around the state.
First State residents and visitors
alike have proven over and over again
that they enjoy local produce; and they
look forward to the excitement that the
farmers’ market season brings.

Georgetown Farmers’ Market, call

Wings and Wheels Festival
This relatively new festival is
sponsored by the Greater Georgetown
Chamber of Commerce, in partnership
with the Delaware Aviation Museum
and the Lower Delaware Mustang
Club.
Held at the Sussex County Airport,
the annual fall festival features a flyin of vintage airplanes, a car show,
food and craft vendors, entertainment,
games, a World War II tribute and USO
Show and plenty of other activities.
The festival is held each fall and has
quickly become one of the area’s most
popular events.
Christmas Balloon Parade
The annual Georgetown Christmas
Parade, hosted by the Greater Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, takes
place on the first Thursday of December
each year.
The event was renamed the Christmas “Balloon” Parade in 2007 when
Macy’s-style, jumbo balloons were introduced to the line-up, which also includes floats, marching bands, classic
cars, fire trucks and of course, Mr. &
Mrs. Claus in their sleigh.
All entries are judged and 1st, 2nd
and 3rd place winners are awarded tro14
georgetowncoc.com
phies in their respective categories, as
well as, a Best Themed entry and Overall Best entry.
The parade attracts hundreds of spectators who line the streets of Georgetown and The Circle, and is a highlight
of the holiday season.
For more information visit www.
georgetowncoc.com.
Caroling on the Circle
The annual holiday celebration
takes place on The Circle in front of
the Sussex County Administration
Building, unless Mother Nature intervenes – in that case, it’s moved to the
nearby Georgetown Volunteer Fire
Department.
Caroling on the Circle in an annual
event that features traditional Christmas
carols being sung in both English and
Spanish.
Canned, nonperishable foods are
also collected for the needy during the
event.
Oyster Eat
In 1937, the Georgetown Volunteer
Fire Company established an annual
fund-raising effort known as the
“Oyster Eat.” Hundreds of men gather
each February to enjoy the food and
fellowship at the Eat, which has
been recognized by the United States
Congress for its historical and cultural
significance.
It’s a special tradition to hundreds of
Sussex County men and is passed down
from generation to generation.
On the night of the Oyster Eat, the
men of the fire department take the fire
trucks and other vehicles out of the fire
hall and replace them with a four-inch
thick layer of sawdust, which apparently makes it easier to clean up the huge
mess at the end of the evening.
The Oyster Eat has been featured on
national television, was once the subject of a feature in New Yorker magazine and has been honored as a Library
of Congress Local Legacy event.
It has evolved into one of the biggest social events of the year in southern Delaware, with all-you-can-eat
oysters, all-you-can-drink beer and
bluegrass music aplenty.
In addition to hundreds of bushels
of oysters, the hard-working men of
Station 77 also provide beer and egg
sandwiches.
And watch out on election years
– the Eat has become a favorite stop
for current and aspiring politicians out
stumping for votes.
The annual Georgetown Fire
Company Oyster Eat is held each year
at the end of February, just before the
traditional start of the spring planting
season.

or a relatively small southern Delaware town, there
is a good supply of choices for families in the
Georgetown area in search of quality entertainment.
From one of the First State’s finest community theaters, to
events hosted by an up and coming microbrewery and many
other activities, the Sussex County seat does not disappoint
in terms of things to do for residents and visitors alike.
Possum Point Players
Over the nearly four decades since
its founding, the men and women
who run the Possum Point Players
Community Theater in Georgetown
have helped develop the thespian house
into one of the most highly regarded
small playhouses in Delaware.
Since its first days in 1973, Possum
Point Players has existed in order to
“contribute to the cultural diversity and
vitality of Sussex County by bringing
the experience of live theater for edu16
georgetowncoc.com
cation and enjoyment to residents and
visitors alike.”
The theater group has earned a reputation for bringing productions to the
stage that have consistently been well
received by area theater goers – more
than 150 in total since its early days
meeting in a former hardware store.
There are traditionally five main shows
each year at the community theater,
including an always well-attended
Christmas performance.
The group’s current home is a for-
mer vacant building, purchased from
the Town of Georgetown in 1985, that
has been extensively remodeled and
turned into the gem that it is today.
Since those days in the mid 80s,
“Possum Hall” has become a focal
point for the arts and entertainment
scene in central Sussex County.
The organization has long enjoyed
the support of the Delaware State Arts
Council and the state Division of the
Arts, and maintains solid relationships
with many other arts organizations such
as the Delaware Symphony Orchestra,
the Delaware Theatre Company and the
Rehoboth Art League.
Possum Point Players also offers a
juniors group, a Shakespeare readers
group and an ad hoc touring company.
To learn more about Possum Point
Players, call 856-3460.
Brewery Tours
Delaware’s newest microbrewery is
located just a couple of miles from the
historic Circle that is the centerpiece
of the Sussex County seat. Owned and
operated by a couple of local residents
turned small business owners, 16 Mile
Brewing Company offers tours of
its hometown facility ever week on
Thursday and Friday afternoons and for
three midday hours on Saturdays.
Tour participants have a chance
to tour the brewery, including the
new brewpub constructed in 2012, as
well as sample some of the brews 16
Mile has quickly become known for.
Chances are, guests may even have a
chance to talk one-on-one with owners
Chad Campbell and Brett McCrea.
The Georgetown brewery also presents a popular live music series, on
Friday evenings from 5-7 at its property
on North Bedford Street. There is also
a growing summertime festival held on
the grounds of the brewery each year.
To learn more about Delaware’s newest
microbrewery, call 16 Mile Brewing
Company at 302-253-8816.
Sports at the Beach
Just a couple of miles east of the
Georgetown town limits, the 95-acre
Sports at the Beach complex is a baseball and softball facility that offers
youth baseball and softball tournaments
from March through October, specializing in week-long summer tournaments
known as “summer classics.”
The first-class facilities are complete
with climate-controlled dormitories, 32
batting cages, a pro shop, a photo center, a concession stand, a playground
and a swimming pool. Summer baseball camps are also offered at the popular complex, located on the heavily
travelled and highly visible Route 9.
For more information on the Sports
at the Beach complex, including full
schedules, call 1-800-969-9008.
Treasures of the Sea Exhibit
Thousands of silver bars and coins,
bronze cannons and many other treasured artifacts from a Spanish galleon
named the Nuestra Senora de Atocha
are on display at Georgetown’s campus
of Delaware Technical & Community
College. The collection, open to the
public on select days and times, is valued at more than $4 million and was
recovered, in part, through the efforts
of local treasure hunter Mel Fisher and
with the backing of local investor and
businessman Melvin Joseph. Admission
to the museum is $3 for adults, $2.50
for seniors and $1 for students.
Children 4 years of age and younger
are admitted free.

volunteers, the men and women of the
Georgetown Little League provide the
community’s very own “field of dreams”
for young boys and girls in central
Sussex County.
From t-ball to senior league, and
everything in between, neighborhood
children are given a chance to play
together as a team, while learning the
basics of America’s favorite pastime.
The Georgetown Little League complex is located on East Market Street,
on land owned and provided by Grace

United Methodist Church. The season
runs each year in the late spring and
early summer.
Tax-Free Shopping
A big draw to all of Delaware, including Georgetown, is the allure of tax-free
shopping. The only state in the midAtlantic that offers shopping without the
added expense of a sales tax, Delaware
draws thousands of visitors each year
who are looking to save a little extra
money on their shopping needs.
The central regions of Delaware’s
southernmost county are awash with
specialty shops, antique centers and
small, family owned businesses. And
absolutely everything that is purchased
from retail stores in Georgetown – from
toys, to clothing to sporting goods – is
all exempt from any state sales tax.
Delaware Geocaching Trail
The concept behind geocaching is
really quite simple — take your Global
Positioning System (GPS) device, plug
in coordinates you download from the
Internet and off you go on a sort of 21stcentury treasure hunt.
It matters not what is found at the
end of the proverbial rainbow; the thrill
is really in the hunt – and that’s exactly
what officials were hoping for when
they created the Delaware Geocaching
Trail in 2009. Geocaching is defined by
dictionary.com as “a type of scavenger
hunt for waterproof containers bearing treasure, using the containers’ exact
geographic coordinates and Global
Positioning System devices.” It is a
family-friendly activity that combines
a good deal of outdoors fun with the
unparalleled excitement of a treasure
hunt.
You never know what you could find
along the way. There are several sites on
the trail that are located in Georgetown
or in surrounding areas. For more information, and to plan your day of family
fun, visit http://www.visitdelaware.com/

Sussex Pines Country Club
Georgetown’s only country club
offers a par 72 golf course that will
challenge experienced golfers, while
offering novices a chance to learn the
game in a friendly, relaxed environment.
The course features four sets of tees and
greens that have been rebuilt in recent
years to enhance the golfing experience.
The country club, located just south
of town, was named for the towering
pine and hardwood trees that line many
of the holes on the course. The pictur-
esque setting is a true gem in central
Sussex County for those who crave a
little privacy and a temporary escape
from everyday life.
Sussex Pines County Club offers the
amenities of a private club, including a
large clubhouse, pool, full scale driving
range, practice green and a chipping/
bunker practice area. Visit www.sussexpines.com for more information.
Nature Walks
As in most of picturesque southern
Delaware, Georgetown has plenty of
ways for those who want to get outside
and enjoy the great outdoors to do just
that. The most popular nature walk in
central Sussex County can be found just
north of town at the Redden State Forest,
between Georgetown and Ellendale. An
easy walk through part of Delaware’s
largest state forest is a great way to
explore the natural and cultural history
of the nation’s first state, in breathtakingly beautiful fashion. A stroll through
the forest’s natural groves of mixed
hardwoods and its planted and harvested
stands of loblolly pine reveals the young
woodland’s many layers of human and
natural history. Not only does the experience provide a wonderful way to stay in
shape, but it can also be a learning experience for young and old alike. Though
the trail through Redden State Forest is
unmarked, it is relatively easy to follow
and provides a good day out with family and friends, not to mention a fun and
easy way to get a little exercise.
All Hallows Revenge
New to the Georgetown area in 2011,
All Hallows Revenge is located on the
grounds of the Sports at the Beach complex and promises a scary good time
each fall for those brave enough to enter
its world. Guests to the scariest place in
Delaware take a tram ride to the entrance
of the “town,” where an actor will be
waiting to give them the town’s history
before they go in – if they dare, that is.
Guests then enter the foggy, smoke-filled
western town and are entertained by
more than 40 actors, as well as custom
animatronics that inhabit the crypts of
Dr. Wraith, the mongrel labs and other
sites.
Other areas at the haunted site include
the gallows, a walking trail and a cemetery.

S
pend any time at all in or
near the Sussex County
Seat, and the town’s
unique and diverse character cannot be
missed. It is part of what 21st century
Georgetown is all about, a town that
has seen a jump in minority population as big as any in the United States
in the last two decades. Today, the
Hispanic community in Georgetown
comprises more than one-third of the
town’s population. Coming to central
Sussex County mostly from Mexico
and Guatemala in the early years of the
new century, most ventured to Delmarva because of the availability of jobs
in the area’s poultry processing plants.
Just a few years ago, Georgetown
actually boasted a higher percentage of
Guatemalan residents than any other
town in the United States. As a result
of the changing makeup of the area,
more Hispanic owned businesses and
service organizations have opened their
doors in the last several years.
The Georgetown Police Department
added a bilingual officer to its force a
few years back and other communityoriented organizations have sprouted up
with an eye toward lending a helping
hand to those who need it most.
In response to the greater medi20
georgetowncoc.com
cal needs of the Latino population, for
example, La Red Health Center opened
a brand new state-of-the-art facility in
2012 and other organizations like La
Esperanza and El Centro Cultural continue to provide services to the community.
A few of the organizations that
cater to those in Georgetown’s growing
Hispanic community include:
La Esperanza
La Esperanza was founded in 1996,
primarily to provide support to the
increasing number of immigrant workers
arriving in Sussex County from Mexico
and Guatemala. Since then, the organization has evolved into a multi-service
support organization that assists with the
assimilation of Latinos into the broader
Sussex County population.
Since it’s founding, La Esperanza has
provided services to more than 75,000
clients. It currently serves 8,000 individuals and families each year, including
children.
El Centro Cultural
El Centro Cultural is a small nonprofit arts organization that strives to
link culturally diverse populations and
reinforce the value of the arts in working
toward positive social integration.
The mission of El Centro Cultural is
to recognize the preservation of traditional and cultural practices as a human
right. The organization discovers and
promotes local artists, supports arts education, and organizes community events
which enhance positive social integration, breaks down barriers and promotes
respect for the newly arrived Hispanic
community in Sussex County.
El Centro Cultural organizes and
sponsors a few community events
each year, the biggest being the annual
Festival Hispano, held each summer in
neighboring Millsboro.
First Steps Primeros Pasos
First Steps Primeros Pasos is an early
care and education program meeting the
developmental needs of Hispanic children by preparing them to lead happy,
healthy and productive lives.
The grass roots organization serves
children from six weeks through 4 years
of age, preparing them to move successfully into the area’s public school system. Working in a model of collaboration
with other area service organizations,
First Steps Primeros Pasos provides
education for children and their parents,
as well as nutritional meals and health
monitoring, and help with social services, when needed.

Ocean View, Millsboro and Georgetown,
the district spans 360 square miles, the largest in the First State. The Sussex County seat

as well as several private secondary schools
and the constantly growing Delmarva Christian High School.

teachers collaborates on instructional
strategies for a specific group of students. Teachers plan their instructional
activities together and work to meet the
special needs of individual children.
This allows for continuity in instruction.

opportunity to take exploratory courses
in music, art and vocational education.
An accelerated math curriculum is also
available to students who qualify.

rest of the day at Sussex Tech learning
a trade. In the early 1990s, the school
changed into an academic and technical
school, which it still is today.
Technical areas at Sussex Tech
include auto body, athletic health care,
auto/diesel, carpentry/mill and cabinet,
children’s education and services, criminal justice, computer information and

community to include Native Americans
in Arizona, intercity ministry in
Chattanooga, Tenn., and families in the
Deep South.

philosophy. These projects are aimed at
developing enlightened minds, as well as
strong and caring spirits. The Jefferson

flexible blocks of time, students keep
portfolios of their work and assessment
is continuously ongoing.

Services
W
ith its unique charm and perfect
location, Georgetown offers residents a way of life that is hard to
find in today’s modern, fast-paced environment.
Yet, despite its small town charm and proximity
to the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the
Sussex County Seat does not lack in the services
offered to its residents. Many of these services
are offered by the Town, supported by a tax base
that, like the county it resides in, are among the
lowest in the nation. Among the services offered
to residents of Georgetown are:
Town Government
A mayor and four-member council govern Georgetown. The council
constitutes Georgetown’s legislative
body, which is responsible for passing
laws. Council members are elected for
two-year terms and represent one of
the town’s four wards. The mayor is
elected for a two-year term and serves
as council president. The town council
appoints a town manager, a solicitor,
the police chief and any committees
deemed necessary for the operation
of the town. The town manager is
the chief administrative officer for
the town and serves at the pleasure
of the town council. The manager is
ultimately responsible to the council
for Georgetown’s daily operations. All
town employees are hired or dismissed
by the town manager, who also calculates and formats the town budget
each fiscal year.
Police Department
The Georgetown Police
Department, located on the corner of
24
georgetowncoc.com
Race Street and New Street, provides
police services to town residents. All
of the department’s officers are trained
and certified at the Delaware Police
Academy. The police department’s
operating budget is drawn mainly
from city tax revenue, in addition to
funds received from various federal
and state programs. The police force
includes 12 patrol officers, four detectives, a captain, Police Chief William
Topping and a victim services employee. There is also one administrative
support employee who works for the
department. The department has 12
patrol vehicles, a Harley Davidson
motorcycle, an armored vehicle, four
detective vehicles and two administrative vehicles at its disposal, as well as
a K-9 unit.
In addition to auto patrols, the
department conducts foot and motorcycle patrols in the two business districts and around the county complex
on The Circle. To deal with the growing needs of the Hispanic population,
the police department has hired two
bilingual officers who are responsible
for community policing and public
safety education for Latino residents.
Volunteer Fire Company
Fire protection in Georgetown
is provided by the Georgetown
Volunteer Fire Company, located on
South Bedford Street near The Circle.
Approximately 100 volunteers serve a
district that extends north to Ellendale,
south to Millsboro, east halfway to
Lewes and west toward Bridgeville.
Utilities and Trash Pickup
Georgetown provides sewage treatment to most of the town, the big
exception being the Perdue Plant on
Savannah Road, which has its own
sewage treatment facility. The Town
currently operates two sewage treatment facilities. The first is a mechanical sewage treatment plant, located on
Stevenson Lane, which has a capacity
of 500,000 gallons per day. The second is a spray irrigation facility located on more than 80 acres along Route
317 southwest of town. Constructed in
1991, it can treat 250,000 gallons per
day. Fifteen pumping stations located
throughout Georgetown facilitate the
transfer of sewage to the two treatment
facilities.
The Town also provides municipal
water service to homes and businesses located within its boundaries.
Georgetown operates six wells for its
source of water supply. Four of the
town’s wells are less than 145 feet
deep, while the other two are between
310 and 350 feet deep. They have a
total combined annual allocation permit from the Delaware Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental
Control (DNREC) of 300 million gallons. Garbage is picked up for town
residents on a weekly basis by Waste
Industries and electricity is provided
by either Delmarva Power or Delaware
Electric Cooperative, depending on the
area of town.
Sussex County EMS
The Sussex County Emergency
Medical Service (EMS) administration operates and coordinates its
five stations, with a staff of 60, from
Georgetown. The five stations in the
county consist of five non-transport
Medic units staffed by 48 full-time
trained Advanced Life Support (ALS)
paramedics. The EMS responds to all
911 calls and provides ALS treatment,
as needed, and accompanies the ambulance to the hospital, as required.
Delaware State Police
Troop 4 of the Delaware State
Police is located on Route 113
and works cooperatively with the
Georgetown Police Department. The
Georgetown Police, State Police
and the community enjoy a strong
and cooperative relationship. The
Georgetown and State Police forces
provide several community programs
to promote neighborhood crime prevention, community relations and road and
child safety.
Streets and Grounds
The Georgetown Streets and
Grounds department is responsible
for street cleaning with the street
sweeper, performing repairs such as pot
holes or other hazards, parking meter
repairs, street sign maintenance, storm
water drainage's cleaned, building and
grounds maintenance and park maintenance.
Georgetown Public Library
It took many years, countless volunteers and a whole lot of fundraising
campaigns, but the new Georgetown
Public Library finally opened on West
Pine Street in August of 2010. The
visually appealing state-of-the-art facility is a true testament to the hard work
and dedication of the residents in the
Sussex County seat.
Since welcoming visitors inside
its doors for the first time that summer, the library has become an integral
part of the fabric that makes up life in
Georgetown. Located less than two
blocks from both Georgetown Middle
School and Georgetown Elementary
School, it’s in a perfect spot to serve
as a valuable learning resource for the
town’s youth. Featuring nearly 30,000
square feet and boasting one of only
four library job centers in Delaware,
the Georgetown Public Library offers
more than 60,000 books, in addition
to videos, DVDs, audio books, music
CDs, magazines and newspapers.
There is also a special “Delaware
Collection” that is a part of the library,
containing rare and out-of-print histories and other books about the First
State. The books are housed in a room
that was donated in memory of the late
William Williams and comprises one of
the library’s most treasured collections
of memorabilia. But the Georgetown
Public Library, in responding to the
needs and desires of the community, is
about so much more than books. The
facility boasts a large number of extra
programs, including adult programming, children’s programming, a knitting group, a Scrabble group, theaterrelated programs conducted by Possum
Point Players, a gardening series, home
schooling programs, a reading program
for toddlers, family game time and
book discussion groups. It has become,
in addition to a welcoming library, a
place for the community to gather and
enjoy shared interests.
“There were so many people in town
who worked on the library project and
to walk into the building and see so
many people using it is very satisfying.
We have more than 100 children in our
programs now, which we were never
able to do when we were in the smaller
building,” says Dorothy Teixeira,
president of the library’s board of commissioners. “The whole community got
behind this project, and we certainly
couldn’t have done it without them. It’s
just great!”
The library, which cost around $6
million to construct, is supported by an
active “Friends” group, a committed
group of community volunteers who
promote the library and its functions,
and helps to keep it an integral part of
the Georgetown community. The group
was also largely responsible for the
fundraising that led to the new structure
being constructed between 2007 and
2010. Some of the fundraising efforts
spearheaded by the non-profit Friends
of the Georgetown Public Library have
included a tribute dinner, an annual 5
kilometer run/walk, sales of book bags
and soap, wooden models of the library
and memorial bricks.
Yearly dues for the Friends are $1
for a student membership, $5 for an
individual membership, $10 for a family membership and $25 or above for a
benefactor membership. The membership year runs from May 1 through
April 30. Now open more than 50 hours
each week, the Georgetown Public
Library also offers 16 main computers
that are connected to the World Wide
Web, as well as two educational machines for young children that are not
connected to the Internet.
A continuously growing section
of the facility is an area that is geared
toward the town’s burgeoning Hispanic population. The library’s Spanish
collection is largely supported by a
separate Hispanic friends group that
provides materials to the library on a
regular basis. To learn more about the
Georgetown Public Library, visit the
group’s website at www.georgetownpubliclibrary.org or call 856-7958.

Georgetown named a
Blueprint Community
Beginning in the fall of 2011, a committee comprised of a select group of
Georgetown residents began working
on a plan that will ultimately lead to a
sustainable growth “blueprint” for the
Sussex County seat.
Part of the “Blueprint Communities”
initiative introduced in 2008 by the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh
and the University of Delaware’s Center
for Community Research and Services
(CCRS), the First State program follows
similar successes in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
Georgetown is the eighth municipality
in Delaware to be chosen for the program, and the first outside of New Castle
County.
Says Fulton Bank Branch Manager
Linda Price, a member of Georgetown’s
Blueprint Committee: “The ultimate goal
of Blueprint is to help with the revitalization of Georgetown, keeping the rich history and diversity in mind. The Blueprint
team will come up with what is most
important or valuable to Georgetown, it’s
26
georgetowncoc.com
residents, visitors and businesses whether
it be a program, a plan or something
related to economic development.”
The leadership team responsible for
developing Georgetown’s “blueprint” for
success will receive professional training, technical assistance and the prospect
of future funding to support local plans
for sustainable growth.
The ultimate goal is to formulate a
fresh vision and detailed strategy to meet
the community’s most pressing needs,
which will be identified by business
owners, visitors and themselves, gauging
responses to several different scenarios.
The team’s work is expected to serve
as a catalyst for projects that could
include housing, new small business
development and a stronger social safety
net for local residents.
Examples of past Blueprint
Community initiatives in Delaware
include a resource center in Edgemoor
where service providers can meet
with residents to assess needs, and a
new community garden in Eastside.
Statewide, more than $25 million in
community activity has resulted from the
initiative since 2008.

ince the much promoted burst
of the real estate bubble in
2008, home prices and values
have steadily decreased in Georgetown, as they have across the rest of
the country. But rapid growth in the
years prior to 2008 in Georgetown,
particularly in the Hispanic community, has led to a much larger county seat
than in decades past. In the last few
years, home sales have finally begun to
settle back into a more reasonable rate
of growth. Many of homes in Georgetown are on the National Register of
Historic Places – the original Sussex
County Courthouse is even still standing, relocated to its new position just
off The Circle many years ago to make
room for a new structure.Many homes
in the historic Kimmeytown district of
Georgetown are owned or rented by
members of the town’s rapidly growing Hispanic population. Lured to town
by good jobs at Georgetown’s Purdue
poultry processing operation, this segment of the population exploded during
the 1990s.
According to University of Delaware
statistics, Georgetown experienced a
jump from 75 Hispanic residents in
1990 to almost 1,400 in 2000. Hispanic
families now make up about a third of
Georgetown’s total population, according to the United States Census. A major
draw to living in Georgetown is the area’s
history of extremely low property taxes.
Recent Census numbers showed residents
of Georgetown paid an average of just over
$400 per year in property taxes, less than
half the average of the state of Delaware as
a whole. There is also no sales tax on purchases in Delaware, adding to the appeal of
the Georgetown area. Whether it be one of

Economic Development
Already home to a diverse business
landscape, Georgetown continues to
solidify its standing as the business
leader in central Sussex County. Its
proximity to the state’s beach resorts
and the ability to offer tax-free shopping have helped the town grow
responsibly in recent years. While retail
activity is centered along the Route 113
corridor, many businesses in town cater
to locals and to the more than 6,000

Servin

people who work within one mile of
The Circle. Many of these businesses,
not surprisingly given its location as
the County Seat, deal in government
affairs – nearly all are located in the
downtown area.
Georgetown’s retail trade consists of
some regional and national firms, but
most are independent, locally owned
businesses in a variety of sectors. The
majority of activity is centered along

Route 113, primarily in the Wal-Mart
shopping center, as well as in the downtown area.
Landing the world’s largest retailer
was a major coup for the town back in
2000. Its opening allowed Georgetown
to further bolster its standing within the
business community of Sussex County.
Now included in the center with WalMart are several core businesses, including Dollar Tree, Radio Shack and Shoe
Show, as well as a Walgreen’s drug store
and a Cato Fashions. Shopping opportunities in the Sussex County seat also
include many convenience stores and
small markets that serve neighborhoods
in and around Georgetown. Catering
to the town’s robust Hispanic community are businesses located in and near
the historic Kimmeytown section of
Georgetown, including the popular Joe’s
Food Market at 118 Race Street, a fresh
food market designed to appeal to the
ever-growing Latino population.
Georgetown’s service industry is
also expanding in all areas and includes
a variety of firms engaged in activities
such as real estate, accounting, insurance, automobile repair, office maintenance and all types of contracting.
There is also a multitude of choices
for residents and visitors alike when
the urge to eat out suddenly strikes.
From downtown eateries like the New
Georgetown Deli, The Upper Crust,
Caruso’s Italian Eatery, Patty’s Gourmet
Deli and the Georgetown Family
Restaurant to Route 113 establishments
like Pizza Palace and Subway, there is
something for everyone in Georgetown.
There are also plenty of options
available for those in a hurry, including national fast food restaurants like
McDonald’s, Burger King, Arby’s and
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
There’s even a first-rate Italian eatery
(Bella Capri), located at the Wal-Mart
shopping center and a popular Mexican
restaurant (La Quetzalteca), located on
southbound Route 113.
There are currently more than 430
businesses that are part of the Greater
Georgetown Chamber of Commerce,
but much more development is planned
for the near future in the constantlygrowing seat of Sussex.
Hoping to add to an already diverse
group of businesses in Georgetown,
the Greater Georgetown Chamber of
Commerce will work to bring more
quality businesses to town in coming
years.

as well as Medicare and Medicaid.
Individuals without health insurance or

Indust
rial Airpark
Sussex County
O
perated by the county
as an airport and industrial park, the 350-acre
Sussex County Industrial Airpark is
an increasingly vital component to the
economic well being of Georgetown,
and to all of southern Delaware. Approximately 1,000 people are employed at the site, at nearly 20 local
businesses.
A former United States Navy property, the airpark today is nearly fully
developed and hosts aircraft ranging
from single-engine planes to larger
cargo and corporate jets. More than
50,000 takeoffs and landings occur at
the airpark each year.
That’s a number that is sure to
increase in coming years, however, as
the county received nearly $4 million
in state funding in March of 2012 to
increase the airport’s main runway and
realign a nearby road.
The $3.7 million grant was obtained
from the Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund, which was set up in
2011 to spur economic growth and job
creation in the First State. The money
is only part of the $25 million needed
for the runway extension project, but
it has allowed the first phase of the
project to get underway.
For more than a decade, Sussex
County has been working on extending
the runway in order to accommodate
larger aircraft and spur greater economic growth in the county seat and
surrounding municipalities.
Once the 1,000-foot extension
project in complete, the Sussex County
Airport will boast a 6,000 foot runway
that will allow for Boeing 757s to fully
utilize the property in the future. This
includes not only offering commercial
flights, but also using the services of
PATS Aircraft, a company that employs about 350 people at its hangars
in Georgetown.
The runway extension project will
allow the company, located at the airpark since the 1990s, to grow its operation, as well as make the airport more
marketable to future tenants. PATS
also anticipates the project would boost
its business, allowing the company to
add a few dozen more Delaware jobs
to its payroll in the coming years.
A major employer in the Georgetown area, PATS does interior work
and installs auxiliary fuel tanks on
jets for companies and individuals all
around the world, from its local facility.
Construction of the first 500-foot
runway extension is expected to begin
in the summer of 2012 and should be
completed by the end of 2013. The
second 500-foot extension will be com-
pleted as soon as possible after that.
For years, Sussex County has used
the airpark as both a transportation
center and as a catalyst for economic
development. In 2005, the County
leased two-and-a-half acres of the site
to private companies for the construction of five 10,000-square-foot private
hangers. Those leases were the latest in
a multi-year, multi-million dollar effort
by the county to improve amenities
and safety at the site. The airpark is a
vital economic development engine in
Sussex County, providing local jobs
ranging from manufacturing and poultry processing to storage and distribution. The site is also home to Delaware
Technical & Community College’s aircraft maintenance education program.
Another gem at the airport is the
Delaware Aviation Museum, which
provides a unique glimpse into the past
via World War II aviation artifacts,
memorabilia and displays. Several
aircraft are also on display surrounding
the museum, including a historic B-25
bomber from the 1940s.
The new $1.2 million terminal
building, which includes the popular
Lighthouse Landing restaurant, a pilot
lounge, a flight plan area and a satellite
office and meeting room for Sussex
County Economic Development, was
finished in 2002.
