My wife and I met here. We lived in Ft. Smith off and on during the first few years of our marriage. Ft. Smith is not a large city, but is certainly worth a visit. Ft. Smith is just south of the beautiful Boston Mountains (NW Arkansas) I will say this however, If you are one who favors places like New York City, Chicago, or Los Angeles, you might find this little city on the boring side, but for the rest of us who doesn’t think that the universe revolves around our particular place, then Ft. Smith just might be a place you will enjoy.
