Located ten miles south of Danville, Illinois, Georgetown was settled by Quakers from Tennessee during the early nineteenth century. Originally surveyed (with a grapevine for measurement and the North Star for direction) by James Haworth, Georgetown was chartered in 1827 with only two streets. In 1873, Georgetown, named after Haworth`s son was incorporated. From 1890 to 1920, Georgetown grew from 600 residents to 4,000 residents. The coal mining industry provided the impetus for this expansion. Immigrants from Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Poland, and others in Central and Eastern Europe settled in the Georgetown area. Today, Georgetown continues to be a culturally diverse area having much to offer its citizens. With a current population of more than 3,400 people, Georgetown is looking toward the twenty first century with enthusiasm. Based upon a strong network of organizations, public services, and economic opportunities, Georgetown utilizes its resources to meet the needs of residents. These resources include a full time police department, ambulance service, fire protection, full postal services, banking facilities, and many others. In addition, the city is at the forefront of technology in the county. It is one of the first cities in the county to have a web site, and its school district is one of the most connected school districts in the county as well. Georgetown offers an excellent mix of small town living with large city services and entrepreneurial opportunities -- the best of both worlds.

Welcome to West Brookfield, Massachusetts. With a population of about 3,400 residents, West Brookfield is a quaint New England town nestled among the Quaboag hills about half-way between Springfield and Worcester. As you enter the Center Historic District of our town, you will come upon the picturesque Town Common, lined with stately colonial homes. Recently restored to its original glory, the focal point of the Common is the Rice Memorial Fountain. The Common is also the site of our War Memorial Plaza and the Helen Paige Shackley Bandstand. The Common is host to many exciting annual events, including The Asparagus & Flower Heritage Festival, the lighting of the town Christmas tree during "White Christmas in West Brookfield," and the "Concerts on the Common" summer music series. From June to October, the Farmers' Market bustles with activity every Wednesday from 3 until 6:30 PM. The town center is dotted with many unique craft and antique shops where you can browse for the perfect gift or collectible. There are several restaurants throughout the town, offering everything from a quick cup of coffee to fast food or fine dining. There are also inns and a motel, should you decide to stay awhile. As you head west on Route 9, "at the lights" you will find our Town Hall and the Merriam Gilbert Public Library. If you were to take a right turn between these two imposing buildings, you would be heading toward our town beach on lovely Lake Wickaboag. The lake is a wonderful water recreation and fishing area. It is the site of Fourth of July boat parade and house decorating contest, and winter ice fishing derbies. Just before leaving the town, as you continue westward you will see "The Rockhouse Reservation," a property of the Trustees of Reservations. The reservation has hiking and nature trails, a lovely little lake, and a butterfly meadow. Part of the original settlement known as "The Quaboag Plantation," West Brookfield was the home of Jedediah Foster, one of the forgers of the Massachusetts Constitution, the model for our US Constitution. Lucy Stone, champion of women's rights, also called West Brookfield "home." So, turn off the cell phone (we do have excellent coverage, by the way), turn back the clock (figuratively), and turn to West Brookfield - "A Town for all Seasons."
