Georgetown, Massachusetts was originally settled in 1639 as a part of the town of Rowley by the Reverend EzekielRogers. By 1838, the town was sufficiently large enough for its own incorporation and was renamed Georgetown. Today the town is mostly residential in nature, a distant suburb of Boston's North Shore, about 32 miles northeast of Boston.
The town has a total area of 13.2 square miles of which 12.9 square miles is land and 0.31 square miles is water. Georgetown is located on the edge of the hills and coastal plain of northeastern Massachusetts. It has many streams and brooks, as well as two major ponds, Rock Pond and Pentucket Pond. The town has several areas of protected land, including the Georgetown-Rowley State Forest to the south, the Crane Pond Wildlife Management Area to the north, the Lufkins Brook Area to the west, and a small portion of the Boxford State Forest in the southwest.
Georgetown's current population is roughly 8,700 residents with 1,800 being senior citizens and
is governed by an open town meeting form of government. Georgetown is led by a Board of
Selectmen and a Town Administrator.
Georgetown has its own municipal school district and is not part of a regional school association or district, consisting of three schools:
- Perley Elementary School (formerly Perley High School) is a Blue Ribbon Schools Program award-winning elementary school for preschool only.
- Penn Brook Elementary School serves grades Kindergarten–6.
- Georgetown Middle-High School serves grades 7–12.
