Smithtown, Administrative town in Suffolk County, New York, United States.
Smithtown spans 111.5 square miles on Long Island's North Shore, with residential neighborhoods, business districts, and natural areas along the Long Island Sound.
Richard Smith established the settlement in 1665 after acquiring land from Lion Gardiner, who maintained connections with the Nissequogue Native Americans.
The Smithtown Performing Arts Center, transformed from a 1933 movie theater, hosts theater productions, music concerts, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Three Long Island Rail Road stations connect the town to New York City, while local roads and highways provide access to neighboring Suffolk County communities.
A bronze bull statue at the center of town commemorates the legend of Richard Smith riding his horse around the town's perimeter to determine its boundaries.
