As the hub of Smith County, it has the relaxed rhythm you expect from a classic prairie town, paired with a genuine sense of local pride.

First National Bank Smith Center, KS (1)

Community spirit is everywhere here, especially on fall Friday nights when the whole town turns out at Hubbard Stadium to back the Redmen football team. Local history is woven right into the scenery as well, from the 1880s Dutch windmill in Wagner Park to the nearby cabin where "Home on the Range" was written. For anyone looking for starry skies and a tight-knit community, Smith Center provides an easy, comfortable place to plant roots.
