Georgetown takes pride in its growing community

Georgetown, Kentucky has changed significantly over the past 40 years. In 1986, Toyota built a manufacturing plant in Georgetown — which was then and remains today — the largest in the world. Thus, Georgetown’s population has quadrupled from about 10,000 people in 1980 to an estimated 40,000 residents. While Georgetown also has a hospital, university, distilleries and horse farms, its economy still primarily revolves around Toyota. “When Toyota came, other factories moved here, too. They supply Toyota,” says Scott County Schools’ district athletic director Daniel Wells, a lifelong resident of Georgetown. “Even if you don’t work at Toyota, it directly impacts our community in so many ways. Our community would be decimated without it. It supports so many things that happen in our community.” Repeatedly emphasizing Georgetown's openness to growth, Wells also notes that most people aren’t from the city originally. “At one point, we had more subdivisions being built than some neighboring counties had houses being built,” he says, adding that they take pride in welcoming their new neighbors to the community. Indian Hills is an older established neighborhood a mile south of Georgetown’s charming old-school downtown. Buyers here can find anything from a 1960s ranch-style home to a 2024 new build situated in a quiet subdivision near restaurants, shops, city parks and public schools.

Local restaurants, downtown Georgetown and grocery shopping

Dave’s Blazin BBQ serves up a mix of barbecue staples and craft sandwiches, Bistro M is a Mediterranean deli and El Sarape is a Mexican grocery store and fruteria with dishes ranging from tacos to burritos and tortas. A mile north, “Downtown still has a small-town feel to it,” Wells says. “There are a lot of local establishments to eat and shop. Galvin’s and Fava’s are longtime staples of our community.” Galvin’s is a modern American restaurant with 40 regional draft beers and Fava’s is an old-school diner established in 1910 that serves Southern-style breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Festival of the Horse, holiday parades and an annual chili cookoff

Georgetown’s biggest annual event is its Festival of the Horse, a three-day celebration of Kentucky horse culture. The event includes live music, vendor booths and an annual Grand Parade of Horses, where horses of all breeds walk down Main Street. In addition to the Festival of the Horse, “There are also a couple of 5K races. The parks department has all the parades – Halloween, Christmas, all that jazz,” Wells says. Adding that “The parks department also runs a chili cookoff downtown. It’s a huge event.”

Great Crossing High School and Georgetown College

“Our school system has about 10,000 students and some of the newest schools in Kentucky,” Wells explains. Some parents here can even walk their children to Garth Elementary, the neighborhood’s assigned public school, which receives a B rating on Niche. Many can also walk to the neighborhood middle school, Georgetown Middle, which earns a B-minus on Niche. All students in the neighborhood then attend the B-rated Great Crossing High School, which opened in August 2019 and features a $90 million campus, complete with a nearly 300,000-square-foot building that includes a shared learning space between every four classrooms and a hydraulic orchestra pit in its auditorium. Indian Hills is about a mile west of Georgetown College, a private Christian university and first Baptist college west of the Appalachians. “We have a small college,” Wells says. “It’s around a thousand students. It’s a great addition to our community. It was founded by Elijah Craig, who invented bourbon whiskey in downtown Georgetown. He was also a Baptist minister, so I’m not sure how that worked out.” To learn more about Elijah Craig and the history of bourbon, residents can visit the Buffalo Springs Distillery 9 miles northwest in Stamping Ground, where Elijah Craig is said to have distilled the first-ever barrel of bourbon.

City parks and a Japanese garden on Elkhorn Creek

Indian Hills residents have no shortage of outdoor leisure options. Less than a mile south, Marshall Park features softball and football fields, sand volleyball courts, a playground and a concession building. Two miles east, Robert Lonnie Suffoletta Memorial Park has play equipment, horseshoe pits, a picnic shelter and an indoor batting cage. Two miles north, residents can explore Elkhorn Creek from Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, a nearly 6-acre Japanese garden. Yuko-En on the Elkhorn was founded in partnership with Tahara, a Japanese town that Georgetown calls its sister city because both are agricultural towns anchored by a large Toyota manufacturing plant. Though Georgetown’s is the largest Toyota plant in the world, Tahara’s is its most efficient, producing a Lexus car every 87 seconds, and the city is home to the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology. Yuko-En on the Elkhorn is free and open daily. It features plants native to the Kentucky Bluegrass region that are stylized using Japanese design principles. Three miles south, Old Friends is a champion racehorse retirement facility. Visitors can take tours to meet Kentucky Derby winners and learn more about the state’s horse racing history.

Get to Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington from Georgetown

Indian Hills is a car-dependent neighborhood 1 mile southwest of downtown Georgetown and 6 miles southwest of the Toyota Assembly Plant, one of the city’s top employers. “Toyota moved here because Interstates 64 and 75 intersect in Georgetown, so you can get to Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington all in under an hour,” Wells says. “You can live out in the country and still get to those places rather quickly. That’s especially convenient when taking a flight; you have multiple airports to choose from.” Bluegrass RIDE has a bus stop in the neighborhood that connects to destinations across the city. Georgetown Community Hospital is less than 2 miles away.

Crime

Indian Hills has a 3 out of 10 CAP Index crime score, which is slightly below the national average of 4.
