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. |

years the town still had their post office, a store and gas station. The Smith
cemetery is shown on detailed county maps. | | |
