Smithfield was chartered just a few months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Having a long history has not kept Smithfield from looking to the future. Major growth and development of residential areas, commercial space, and healthcare facilities in recent years have transformed the area into a wonderful place to live, work, shop, and play. Even among this rapid growth, focus on service to its citizens has not shifted, and the county’s 911 agency was the first in North Carolina to obtain the “Tri Accreditation” from the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch in Fire, Police, and EMD Protocols.Rich History, Bright Future
