104.1 THE RANCH -Today’s New Hot Country
Smith County is proud to be the home of former Vice President, Al Gore, and at onetime was the home of former US Secretary of State, Cordell Hill, who practiced law here as a young man.
The county is also known for its Second Empire-style Courthouse, built in 1879, its many antique shops, historic homes, and the beautiful Cordell Hull Lake, where you can camp, boat, hike, fish, swim or just relax.
“Southern Hospitality” is not just a phrase, but a reality in this progressive southern county. Nestled in a rural setting that offers the four seasons to cover the countryside in varying arrays of color, Smith County offers the beauty and grace of an area rich in past, present, and future.
“Share in the pride of our heritage and enjoy our hospitality!”
