In 1837, Smithville was established as the first county seat of Lawrence County. The once thriving trading center near the Strawberry River was named after War of 1812 veteran, Colonel Robert Smith. Soon a courthouse and jail were constructed. The town served as the county seat until 1868, when it was moved to Clover Bend.
