It is located southwest of Columbus, the county seat of Franklin County and the capital and largest city of Ohio.[1] Georgesville lies at the confluence of Little Darby Creek and Big Darby Creek, which are State and National Scenic Rivers[2] and tributaries of the Scioto River. Much of the swamp forest and prairie surrounding Georgesville is part of Battelle Darby Creek Park. HistorySituated across Big Darby from Georgesville, on the eastern bank below the confluence, the O.C. Voss site includes a Fort Ancient village and ceremonial mound.[3] The reconstructed mound is located along the Ancient Trail in Battelle Darby Creek Park. In 1797, Georgesville was founded as Central Ohio's first permanent white settlement (the same year as Franklinton). The town was originally situated on the eastern bank of Big Darby, now the site of Oak Grove Cemetery. A railway station was built on the western bank of Big Darby, and Georgesville occupies this west bank site today, although the railway station is long gone. The rail line is still active with service to the grain silos in the nearby village of Lilly Chapel. Outside seasonal transport of farm products the line has seen use as storage for surplus rail cars. The line is known as CAMY on the Ohio Rail Map. This line ends west of this village although its old right-of-way continues to London, Ohio. The current rail crossing towers over the Darby Creek just south of the Confluence. The current rail crossing is partially built on the foundations of a former rail bridge with unused foundation pillars remaining. The current rail spans were longer then the former spans. Alkire Road originally featured two wooden covered bridges, spanning the Big and Little Darby above their confluence. The covered bridges were replaced by steel truss bridges (a Pratt truss over Little Darby and a Camelback truss over Big Darby), which were in turn replaced by modern reinforced concrete bridges, in a new configuration, in the 1990s. Before the truss bridges were torn down tests involving maximum load were conducted. At the time these bridge types were still common throughout the Midwest. The testing & destruction of the bridges provided a wealth of information for civil engineers. This area was subject to historic flooding in 1913. ~ See [The Great Flood of 1913] Today the river around Georgesville is one of many entry points for Battelle Darby Creek Park. The Darby watershed is one of the most biologically diverse aquatic systems in the Midwest due to conservation efforts in the park and across Ohio. State and Nations designations have been placed on the creeks in recient years. The park is part of the Franklin County Metro Park System. The Camp Chase Multi-Use Trail runs alongside the still active rail line running through the village. The Camp Chase Trail distance is {{convert|16.2|mi|adj=on}} and is part of the larger Ohio to Erie Trail which connects NE Ohio through Columbus and SW to Cincinnati. The Georgesville Fish Fry was a staple event for many years. Notable people
