Originally known as “Summit Creek”, Smithfield was founded in 1857 by the brothers Robert and John Thornley along with their cousin Seth Langton who were sent north from Salt Lake City by Brigham Young to found a settlement on Summit Creek. After a preliminary scouting, Robert returned like his other wife Annie Brighton. The first winter was spent in a wagon box. By the next summer, with more settlers arriving, a little fort was built on the edge of the creek, one cabin of which remains. As the concurrence grew, a bishop was named and the town took his name. By 1917 the town had planted trees upon both sides of its Main Street and had acquired a Carnegie library and a Rotary club. Dependent for many years upon dairying, a Del Monte canning factory, and the sugar beet industry, the town is now really a bedroom community for Logan and its Utah State University.
