Georgetown is a town in Essex County, Massachusetts, population 8,183. It was incorporated in 1838 from part of Rowley. Georgetown was originally settled in 1639 as a part of the town of Rowley by the Reverend Ezekiel Rogers. The town at the time stretched from the Atlantic coast to the Merrimack River, south of Newbury and north of Ipswich. Several farmers, finding suitable meadowlands in the western half of the settlement, began settling along the Penn Brook by the middle of the seventeenth century, creating Rowley's West Parish. The village, which became known as New Rowley, grew for many years, with small mills and eventually a shoe company opening in the town. By 1838, the town was sufficiently large enough for its own incorporation and was renamed Georgetown. Small industry continued, and today the town is mostly residential in nature, a distant suburb of Boston's North Shore. Georgetown is bordered by Groveland to the northwest, Newbury to the northeast, Rowley to the southeast, and Boxford to the southwest.

The new (May 2010) Safeway in Georgetown (Washington DC) at 1855 Wisconsin Ave NW) opened just one year after the previous store at this location closed. It is the first LEED certified (sustainability) store in DC.
According to their site...
Safeway has strong roots in the Georgetown community. Safeway began serving Washington DC by acquiring the Sanitary Grocery Company 80 years ago. Safeway operated the Georgetown Sanitary Grocery store before it changed the banner to Safeway. Later, Safeway opened its first store on Wisconsin Avenue near 34th Street. Since then, it has been replaced and enlarged twice to improve the services provided to our customers. As the fourth store in this location, the Georgetown Safeway is the urban supermarket for the 21st Century.
