About Georgetown
Georgetown is a census-designated place in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. It is located in the area where the towns of Wilton, Redding and Weston meet. Prior to a 1950 vote, Branchville, a neighborhood in the town of Ridgefield, was also included as part of Georgetown; some Branchville residents still share the Georgetown 544 area code.
