Geography

Smithfield is about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the north of Cairns City, Queensland, Australia. The Captain Cook Highway passes through Smithfield and the Kuranda Range Road (the first section of the Kennedy Highway) branches from the Captain Cook Highway at Smithfield.[3]

History

Irukandji (also known as Yirrgay, Yurrgay, Yirrgandji, Djabuganjdji and Yirgay) is a language of Far North Queensland, particularly the area around the Kuranda Range and Lower Barron River. The Irukandji language region includes the Cairns Region.[4]

Smithfield was first established in 1876, and was a rival for dominance of the area to Cairns at that time. It was named in honour of prospector and explorer, William "Bill" Smith, who had a camp at this place.[5] On Boxing Day 1877, Bill Smith added further notoriety to the town named after him by murdering a man and then shooting himself in the main street.[6] After a devastating flooding of the Barron River on which the settlement was situated during a cyclone in March 1879, the original site was abandoned.[7]

Smithfield Provisional School opened on 7 May 1900. On 1 January 1909, it became Smithfield State School. It closed in 1964.[8]

Smithfield State High School opened on 24 January 1983.[8]

Smithfield library opened in 1998 and underwent a major refurbishment in 2008.[9]
