Georgetown is county seat of Clear Creek. Founded in 1859, Georgetown became a center of commerce for the county following the discovery of silver in 1864. The town’s population was more than 10,000 at one time during the silver boom.
Downtown was used in Every Which Way but Loose in 1978.

No gay or lesbian households reported. (As if that is the business of government.)
Seventy-seven percent of working residents drive to work alone.
Foreign-born residents: 42% from Mexico; 25% from Switzerland.

Almost all search hits link to touristy stuff; no history, other than mining.
Sounds like a boring town.
