Smiths Falls, Administrative town in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
Smiths Falls stands at the intersection of the Rideau Canal and Mississippi River, with four navigation locks spread across three locations in the waterway.
The settlement emerged after Thomas Smyth, a United Empire Loyalist, received land grants in 1786, leading to village incorporation in 1854 and town status in 1882.
The Heritage House Museum preserves local artifacts and presents educational exhibits that detail the development of this Ontario community through different time periods.
The town maintains multiple sports facilities, educational institutions, and municipal services for its population of 9,254 residents according to the 2021 census.
The former Hershey chocolate factory transformed into the Gallipeau Centre, which now serves as a mixed-use facility with residential and recreational spaces.
