===20th century to present=== Throughout the 20th century, Georgetown has been in transition from an economy based primarily on agriculture, to one mixing manufacturing, small business, and the family farm. During the 1960s, the construction of [[Interstate 75]] placed the city on one of the nation's busiest highways. The selection of Georgetown as the site of [[Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky]] in 1985 has resulted in the greatest period of growth in the city's history.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://georgetownky.com/about-us|title=Georgetown/Scott County KY History|publisher=Georgetown/Scott County Tourism|accessdate=26 June 2023}}</ref> The historic [[Ward Hall (Georgetown, Kentucky)|Ward Hall]], now home to The Ward Hall Preservation Foundation, is located just outside Georgetown.
