Smithville Attractions
The site of Smithville was originally home to a tribe of Missouri Indians. Humphrey "Yankee" Smith settled the area in 1822 where he built a mill on the Missouri River and provided the name for the town.
The town saw the worst flooding from the Little Platte River in 1965, which saw destruction of the town - a flood control dam and lake were created to allow the town to be resurrected in 1982.
