Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in Georgetown, GA

Georgetown is an unincorporated census-designated place (CDP) in western Chatham County, Georgia — the Savannah-area community recorded here, not the incorporated city of Georgetown that serves as the seat of Quitman County.

Georgetown lies across the Little Ogeechee River from Savannah and functions as a suburban 'bedroom community' of that city, where most of its adult residents work; it is part of the Savannah Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The community was constructed mostly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and new subdivisions have continued to be built in recent years.

Georgetown had 11,916 residents at the 2020 census, living in 4,971 households and 3,741 families.

The Census Bureau first listed Georgetown as a CDP in the 1980 census with 2,785 people; the population had more than tripled to 10,599 by 2000 as Savannah's suburbs pushed west.

The CDP covers about 8.8 square miles, is bordered to the east, south and west by portions of the city of Savannah, and has actually lost area to Savannah annexations since the 2000 census.

U.S. Route 17 forms Georgetown's northwestern edge and leads about 11 miles northeast to downtown Savannah, while Veterans Parkway also begins in Georgetown and links it to the center of Savannah.

Georgetown K-8 School serves local children in the Savannah-Chatham County public school system, and the community's public high school students attend Windsor Forest High School in Savannah.
