Smyrna Today
Present-day Smyrna is at least three times its pre-1900s size and growing rapidly. The town's strategic location in the northeast, in addition to its location 12 miles north of the state capital of Dover and 30 miles south of the major business center of Newark and Wilmington, makes it a competitive location for business. Smyrna's historic small-town atmosphere and its great pride in its quality of life and educational system make it highly desirable for families and homeowners.
Committed to prudent progress, the town is upgrading its physical and technological infrastructure in order to prepare for growth demands in advance of the need. Home to approximately 6,000 residents, Smyrna was recently ranked 31 in the nation and number one in the state among towns ranging between 5,000 and 15,000 people. Enjoy Smyrna - a place where the past co-exists pleasantly with the present while diligently preparing to leap into the future.
