Besides Smith, other early settlers of the community included David Smith and Aaron Lee. There were three cotton gins and other businesses in the community until cotton farming ended in the 1950s. The post office continued to operate into the 1980s, alongside a store and a gas station. Its population was recorded as 61 from 1980 through 2000.[2] Smith Cemetery is shown on maps of the community today.[3]
