Georgetown: US 9 @ SAND HILL RD
Georgetown straddles a low watershed divide in southern Delaware, a position that has made it an inland crossroads on the Delmarva Peninsula. As the county seat of Sussex County, it concentrates public services, shops and everyday business for a largely rural part of the state. The town was established in 1791 specifically to provide the county with a central seat, and its civic core is organized around The Circle, a broad public square. Georgetown is also known for Return Day, a Delaware election tradition marked by a parade and the ceremonial “burying of the hatchet” between political rivals. Beyond the center, major roads meet amid fields, low-rise commercial sites and residential neighborhoods, reflecting the transition between agricultural Sussex County and Delaware’s beach communities.

Georgetown lies on the Delmarva Peninsula, amid the flat, wooded lowlands of southern Delaware rather than on the Atlantic shore. Founded in 1791 as the seat of Sussex County, it remains the county’s administrative center, with the courthouse and public offices arranged around The Circle, its central green. The compact town core reflects the civic role Georgetown was created to serve, while farms, forests and coastal communities shape the wider county. Georgetown also hosts the annual Return Day celebration, a local political tradition held after elections.

Built around settlements and commerce on the Delaware River, Delaware grew into a compact Mid-Atlantic state. Its northern edge meets the river and Delaware Bay, while the south, including Sussex County near these coordinates, opens toward Atlantic beaches, salt marshes and low-lying farmland. Dover is the state capital; Wilmington, on the Christina River, is Delaware’s largest city and a long-standing industrial centre. Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, on 7 December 1787, a distinction reflected in its “First State” nickname. Cape Henlopen, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach underline the importance of the coast to local life.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
