Georgetown is a city and the county seat of Scott County, Kentucky, in the United States, and the sixth most populous city in the state. It was first called Lebanon when it was founded by the Reverend Elijah Craig, and it was renamed in 1790 in honor of President George Washington. Settlers were drawn to the site by the Royal Spring. Georgetown is a home rule class city under Kentucky law and is part of the Lexington-Fayette metropolitan statistical area. It is the home of Georgetown College, a private liberal arts college, and was for a time the training camp home of the Cincinnati Bengals. Its growth began in the mid 1980s, when Toyota built its first wholly owned United States plant there, which opened in 1988.
