Smithfield is a charming town in eastern Virginia. With its pre-revolutionary architecture, a main street without chains, and the nation’s oldest ham, Smithfield is a special place to live and a great place to visit. Its community, and its government, are all driven to keep the town thriving while retaining its essential character – from cultural events like the Vintage Market happening throughout the year, to modern recreational facilities like the Luter Sports Complex. The Town works closely with local businesses to help them thrive and contribute to the town – whether small shop that started out at Smithfield’s Farmer’s Market, or large but homegrown partners like Smithfield’s Foods. At the same time, a close collaboration between the town and the county ensure the towns natural and historical beauty is maintained, from parks to walking trails to sidewalks.
