Georgetown Texas is a great small town (20 miles north of Austin) founded 160 years ago at the fork of the North and South San Gabriel river. Georgetown Texas lies between the lush fertile farm land (blacklands) to the east and the hill country ranch land (Balcones escarpment) to the west. The city was established in 1848 as a trading center for the surrounding agricultural area. Much of the town has been preserved through participation in the Main Street Project and the with the help of the Georgetown Heritage Society. With the hard work of Georgetown's dedicated citizens we can now enjoy the wonderful history that has been preserved for us.

The Founding of Georgetown Texas
has a great story
The American Indians were the earliest inhabitances of Georgetown. They lived and hunted along the San Gabriel river long before the Spanish came to Texas. Archeologists find evidence of their habitation dating back more that 12,000 years.

Early Georgetown’s pioneers were attracted by the abundance of inexpensive and fertile land with timber to build homes and abundant clean water. The first settlers came from Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Arkansas, Illinois, and other states. Swedish settlers came in the 1850s; German, Austrian, and Swiss settlers started arriving in the 1870, Moravian and Czech began arriving after 1880.

A story relayed to historians - Washington Anderson, tells of Georgetown’s beginnings. Anderson and the four other men assigned the task of locating a county seat were enjoying a brief respite under a large oak tree, when Anderson’s cousin and prodigious landowner, George Washington Glasscock, Sr., (view photo) rode up on his mule. Sensing a quick solution to their task, Anderson spoke up, “George, if you’ll give us all the land between here and the San Gabriel River, we’ll make this the county seat and name the town after you.” His cousin agreed, promptly donating 173 acres, with his partner Thomas B. Huling.
Georgetown Texas is the county seat of Williamson County which was formed on March the 13th in the year of 1848. After the early settlers petitioned the State Legislature to create it out of Milam County. But for Three-Legged Willie the county could have been named "San Gabriel" county. It was finally named after Robert M. Williamson aka Three-Legged Willie a Texas statesmen and judge at the time.

Closing or Settlement >A Smooth Closing
If you are in the process of moving from a home you lived in for years, you might be amazed at what lies beneath all your home furnishings! You might stand in your empty house as the moving van pulls away, staring at piles of dust bunnies and years' worth of grime that you didn't know was there. You are tired, and the last thing you feel like doing is scrubbing your house for the new owners. But leaving your home impeccably clean is one of the most important things you can do to ensure a smooth closing.
Your buyers will do their "walk-through" before the closing to make sure that all the systems of the home are in working order and that the agreed-upon repairs were made. They will feel good about the whole process if they walk into a spotless house. This will be their last opportunity to experience an attack of buyers' remorse, and your efforts can minimize any second thoughts they may be having or any crankiness about issues that must be resolved at the closing. If you are not inclined to do the cleaning yourself, hiring a professional cleaner will be worth the investment.
