Outdoor adventures and easy commutes in northern Utah
Located in Utah’s Cache Valley, Smithfield is a small city that blends the natural beauty and recreation of the American West with convenience to nearby cities. “It’s on the north side of the Cache Valley, not too far from the Idaho border. There are good canyons close by. Cherry Peak Ski Resort is in Richmond, about 15 to 20 minutes away. It gives you a rural feel without being too rural,” says Johnnie Rosser, a Realtor with Equity Real Estate who has sold several homes in Smithfield. “It’s a 15-minute drive to Logan. Most people that live in Smithfield work in the Logan area.” The city of 14,726 is at the base of the Bear River Range, a mountain range flush with trails and wilderness areas. U.S. Route 91 passes through the center of town, offering a route for commuters north into Idaho or south into Logan.

A long history of Latter-Day Saints
Smithfield’s first settlers were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They had been living in Salt Lake City and were sent by Brigham Young to establish a settlement in the Cache Valley. The city takes its name from the first bishop, John Glover Smith. The church still has a strong presence in the city today, with several wards, or local congregations, throughout town. The Smithfield Tabernacle was built from 1881 to 1902 and dedicated in 1906. Today, it serves as a recreation center for the city. The church is currently building a temple in Smithfield.
