Smithsburg [1] was founded in 1813 by Christopher "Stuffle" Smith. Mr. Smith purchased a plot of land formerly known as part of Shadrack's Lot. The community's development was directly influenced by factors such as migration paths, the arrival of the railroad, and advances in agricultural technology. By 1923, much of the existing village had been erected. Smithsburg was incorporated in 1846.
The earliest known settlements in the area now known as Smithsburg [2], occurred around 1787. Farmers were attracted to the area by rich, well drained soils that provided abundant crop harvests, lush pastures for grazing animals, and profitable orchards. Smithsburg was founded by Christopher Smith in 1813 when he purchased a plot known as ‘part of Shadrack’s Lot’. The Town was officially incorporated in 1841 and continued to grow through the advancement of the railroad system and agricultural technology. The Town also played a crucial role during the Civil War by serving as a hospital town in 1862, treating wounded soldiers of local battles such as the Battle of South Mountain and the Battle of Antietam.
