    I found this on WIkipedia
    hope it Helps! :)

    In 1632, English fur trader Henry Fleet discovered a Native American village called Tohoga on the site of present-day Georgetown and established trade there.[1] Georgetown was incorporated as a town and first regularly settled in 1751, when the area was part of the British Colony of the Province of Maryland. Georgetown was located on land that was owned by George Gordon and George Beall.

    Oops, i forgot this part:

    Since Georgetown was founded during the reign of George II of Great Britain, some speculate that the town was named after him. Another theory is that the town was named after its founders, George Gordon and George Beall.
