How Smith Village Started
The town of Smith Village began thanks to a woman named Rose Henrietta Smith. She owned a twenty-acre farm. Rose decided to divide her land into smaller pieces to create a new housing area. This development was called the Rose Smith Addition.

In 1952, Del City tried to take over the Rose Smith Addition. To prevent this, the people living there decided to form their own town. They voted in November 1952 to become an official town. Since then, the town has elected its own government from time to time. Services like water and sewer are provided by Sooner Utilities.
