About Smithland

Founded in the 1850s, Smithland is one of the oldest towns in Woodbury County, set right where the Little Sioux River winds through western Iowa's rolling Loess Hills. It's a tiny, quiet community with fewer than two hundred residents, offering open space, river views, and a relaxed, rural rhythm. Everyday life is tied closely to the surrounding valley and countryside, but Sioux City is only about 35 miles away when you need major shopping, healthcare, or an easy commute.
