History in a Pecan
Shell
Like Tomball,
and Edcouch, the town was named
for both the first and last names of a Brownwood
man named Brooke Smith.
The year was 1902 and a man named David Smith honored
his friend (or relative) by naming the town after him. The next year a post office
was granted and the town had three cotton gins at one point.
In recent
years the town still had their post office, a store and gas station. The Smith
cemetery is shown on detailed county maps. |
