On February 23, 1832, the Virginia General Assembly created Smyth County from parts of Washington and Wythe Counties.  Smyth County is named after General Alexander Smyth who once represented this area in Congress. 

Smyth County is governed by a board of supervisors whose members are elected from each of the seven magisterial districts in the county. The Board of Supervisors is responsible for approving the county budget, setting tax rates, and hiring a county administrator who oversees the day-to-day operations of the County. The County Administrator is the primary contact for the Board of Supervisors.

We value your input.  As we work to make Smyth County the best, we want to ensure that our residents have easy access to the information that they need--when they need it.  With that in mind, we have redesigned the County's Web Site to make it easier to navigate and more user friendly.

 

Broadband Smyth County is preparing a countywide broadband needs assessment to plan for high-speed telecommunications. A survey is being done by Design Nine to collect important information. Please complete this quick survey, so that we can obtain input from the business community to determine needs and plan for the future.  If you are not a business owner/manager, you can still complete the survey as an individual county resident or household.  Click here for survey
