The neighborhood of Georgetown actually predates Washington, D.C. by a fair amount. Common misconceptions are that it is named after King George or George Washington. My understanding is that the name has something to do with it having been between two tracks of land each owned by a guy named George, though don't quote me on that. Still, it has long been part of D.C. A few decades ago D.C. made Georgetown change all the street names to conform to D.C.'s grid system. However, some remnants of the old system exist.
