CELEBRATIONS to commemorate Georgetown's 150th birthday attracted a big crowd from far and wide, including many former residents who live interstate.
The event, held at the weekend, was also attended by politicians and local government representatives.
Speaking ahead of the event, celebration committee member John Crawford said Georgetown had a "proud history".
The town land, on Ngadjuni country, was originally part of Bundaleer Station.
It was first surveyed as a town in 1869 and thought to be named after early settler George Fisher.
Similar to Colonel William Light's plan for Adelaide, Georgetown was also designed on a grid, surrounded by parklands, which housed the golf course, old racecourse and cricket oval.
As part of the celebrations, attendees were able to browse through the town's 106-year-old general store, as well as two heritage buildings in the town which contained many historical items.
