History

Population growth and industrial expansion continued modestly in the twentieth century until about 1960, when residential, commercial, and industrial development, due to major growth and urban expansion of nearby Austin, greatly accelerated. Georgetown remained an agrarian community for most of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Early pioneers were attracted to the area's abundance of timber and good, clear water, just as the Tonkawa Indians, who thrived in the area for many years. Cotton production became dominant in the area from the 1880s through the 1920s. In addition, the land was inexpensive and extremely fertile.
