Historical note: Georgetown College, the first Baptist college west of the Allegheny Mountains, was chartered and incorporated in 1829 by members of the Kentucky Baptist Education Association. The institution became co-educational in 1892 when it was consolidated with Georgetown Female Seminary. In addition, title to the property and endowment of Bethel College in Russellville, Kentucky, passed to Georgetown College in 1944. The college has continued to operate as a small liberal arts college with varying degrees of support and control from the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
