Our Story: The Heart of Smithville, Mississippi

Nestled in the rolling hills of Monroe County, Smithville has been resilient and close-knit community since its founding in the early 1900s.  Originally a hub for agriculture and rail transport, the town grew around the spirit of hard work, neighborly kindness, and Southern charm.

In 2011, Smithville faced one of its greatest challenges when a devastating EF5 tornado tore through the town.  In the face of tragedy, our residents came together with extraordinary strength and compassion, rebuilding homes, businesses, and hope -- brick by brick, heart by heart.

Today, Smithville stands as a testament to perserverance and unity.  Whether you are visiting for the first time or have deep roots here, you will find a town proud of its past and excited for its future.
