The residents and council continuously strive to improve their community. Repaving granite curbing, refreshing landscape, installing informational kiosks at various historical sites and updating building facades are just some of the things that add to the value of owning a home in Smithfield, Virginia.

Known throughout the country for their expertise in the meat packing industry, Smithfield has made a journey from simply being known for the manufacturing and distribution of their world famous ham.
