Georgetown is a town in the Mid North region of South Australia. The town is in the Northern Areas Council, 196 kilometres north of the state capital, Adelaide on the Horrocks Highway. Georgetown was one of the first towns to be surveyed in the upper Mid North when the Strangways Act was passed in 1869 to authorise resumption of pastoral leases to enable closer settlement for more intensive farming purposes. It was surveyed in 1869, along with Redhill. It was the seat of the District Council of Georgetown from 1876 to 1988, but following two successive amalgamations with neighbouring councils, it is now part of the Northern Areas Council.
