Georgetown is a town in Sussex County, Delaware, United States. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 4,911. It is the county seat of Sussex County.

Every two years, Georgetown hosts an unusual event known as "Return Day", a half-day-long parade and festival two days after Election Day.

Because of Delaware's status as a border state during the Civil War, Georgetown, like all of Sussex County, sent men to fight for both the Union and Confederate sides. This apparently had a very negative effect on many of the town's prominent family as it had a tendency to divide them to a vicious degree.
