Smith Grove is a rural ghost town in Houston County, Texas, United States. [1]
The area in what is known as Smith Grove today was founded sometime before 1900. It had a church, a store, and several scattered houses in the mid-1930s. These details remained the same in the mid-1960s, with another church being built and most of the residents moving elsewhere after World War II. It was declared a dispersed, rural community in the early 1990s. [2]
Smith Grove is located approximately four miles east of Lovelady at the intersection of FMs 1280 and 1309. [2]
Smith Grove is served by the Lovelady Independent School District.
