About Smiths Station

Smiths Station is a quiet, growing community in eastern Alabama, tucked conveniently between Auburn-Opelika and the Columbus, Georgia metro area. Home to around 5,500 people, it offers a peaceful, small-town atmosphere while keeping bigger-city amenities within easy reach. Though its roots go back to a 19th-century railroad stop named for settler Broadus Smith, the town only officially incorporated in 2001, giving it a fresh, neighborhood-friendly feel with plenty of country charm.
