Smith County, Administrative county in Middle Tennessee, US
Smith County extends across 325 square miles at the base of the Cumberland Plateau, featuring rolling hills, rivers, and the Caney Fork meeting the Cumberland River.
Daniel Smith, a Revolutionary War veteran who created Tennessee's first map and served as United States Senator, gave his name to this county established in 1799.
The county maintains its agricultural traditions through local food production, with farms specializing in raising cattle and growing crops across the rural landscape.
Three principal towns - Carthage, South Carthage, and Gordonsville - provide services to residents, with Carthage functioning as the administrative center.
