Georgetown is the county seat of Georgetown County and one of the oldest cities in South Carolina, with a historic waterfront district and a permanent population of approximately 9,500. Located about 30 miles south of Myrtle Beach on US-17, Georgetown serves as the southern anchor of the Grand Strand corridor.
US-17 traffic between Myrtle Beach and Charleston funnels through Georgetown, and the Sampit River bridge creates a chokepoint where congestion-related crashes are common. Crews responded to a serious crash in Georgetown County near the Horry County border in early 2026. Roden Law’s attorneys serve Georgetown County from our Murrells Inlet office.
