Smith County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 107

Have - 7 Need -100

         Named for James a Texas Revolution general. County seat is Tyler. 
         We only visited a small section of Smith as part of a bigger east Texas trip. The reason we visited was because the town of Troup is in both Anderson and Smith County and we were trying to finish Anderson County. As I was reviewing Smith County I was a little surprised that we had really yet to explore this county, because it is very close to Canton markets and I have always wanted to go and then I thought maybe this is exactly why we have yet to visit here, Steve is worried and how much I might bring home from the markets. 😒. When I review a county like this, that is largely unexplored by us, there is a lot of research but surprisingly I confirmed the large majority of this counties' markers. I already can tell that Smith county is committed to preserving its history. There were only a few that a need a little help with and I written Smith County for more information.
