Georgetown Protestant Cemetery is located at the back and on the west side of the Georgetown Presbyterian Church. The church is located on RTE 138 at the junction of Mill Road, 0.8 km west of the Village of Howick, in the Southwest region of the Province of Quebec.
Georgetown Cemetery is the oldest protestant cemetery in the Châteauguay Valley with the earliest reported burial in 1807, well before the first minister arrived and the establishment of the Georgetown Presbyterian Congregation. It is the largest protestant cemetery in the old Châteauguay County with about 730 monuments and has considerable space for expansion in the future. In 1913, the cemetery was incorporated as a separate company and the land transferred from the Church. Today it is managed by a largely volunteer committee and from the appearance of the grounds they are doing a good job of maintaining it.
