Georgetown, the seat of Quitman County, lies across the Chattahoochee from Eufaula, Alabama, near the site of the original Lower Creek town of Eufaula, which U.S. Indian agent Benjamin Hawkins visited and described in 1799. Settled in the early 1830s, the town was first named Tobanana for a nearby creek; the Tobanana post office opened on January 10, 1833, and was renamed Georgetown on September 21, 1836, for Georgetown in the District of Columbia. Among the first settlers were the families of Captain Harrison Adam Leonard, Kenneth McKenzie, William Oliver and James G. Salisbury.
Quitman County was created on December 10, 1858, and named for General John A. Quitman, a Mexican War soldier and governor of Mississippi. Georgetown was named the county seat in 1859, laid out as a town by order of the Inferior Court and incorporated by the legislature on December 9, 1859. At the end of the Civil War in 1865, a brigade of Federal cavalry under General Benjamin H. Grierson camped for a time near Georgetown on the banks of Tobanana Creek.
