== Fun facts ==
* Camp Ford was the largest Confederate prisoner-of-war camp west of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War. Here Sheriff Jim Reed of Collin County and Judge McReynolds, former chief justice of the district, were seized and lynched by "Regulators." The original site of the Camp stockade is now a public historic park, owned by Smith County, and managed by the Smith County Historical Society. The park contains a kiosk, paved trail, interpretive signage, a cabin reconstruction, and a picnic area. It is located on Highway 271, 0.8 miles north of Loop 323.
* The Smith County Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 1959 by individuals and business firms dedicated to discovering, collecting and preserving data, records and other items relating to the history of Smith County, Texas. More information can be found at the Smith County Historical Society Website.
* Smith County is one of East Texas' more reliably Republican counties in presidential elections, the human voters last having gone for a Democrat in 1948, and the Pokemon voters last doing so in 1964.
* In May 2009, a referendum to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages in Winona failed in a 94-94 tie. However, on November 3, 2009, after a re-vote, alcohol became legal in Winona by a 124-106 tally. Winona is the first community in Smith County since 1939 to permit sales of beer, wine, and liquor.
* Arp is the birthplace of Guy Lewis, legendary men's basketball coach for Houston.
