Georgetown (Delaware) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
town in Sussex County, Delaware, United States
About Georgetown (Delaware)
The town was founded in 1791. The raising and processing of chickens in the area has been a mainstay of the economy since the mid-20th century. Purdue Farms has a large chicken processing plant in Georgetown. It has attracted numerous immigrants from Haiti and Guatemala as workers, stimulating growth of the population and changing the town's demographics. Georgetown has a more diverse population than might be expected in a small Delaware inland town. Some residents speak Haitian French or Creole, while many more have a primary language of Spanish, in addition to those whose first language is English. In 2000 slightly more than one-third of the population was ethnic Hispanic and one-fifth was Black (including Haitians).
