Smyer was settled in 1917, when William L. Ellwood began selling portions of the Spade Ranch to farmers.
Smyer was settled in 1917, when William L. Ellwood began selling portions of the Spade Ranch to farmers. The town was founded in 1924 and deemed platted in 1925 after construction was completed, which soon opened up the rail service to begin in Smyer when the Santa Fe ran railroad beside the townsite. The town had many things to offer as a small town such as a school, a gin, two stores, a railway depot, and a lumberyard. The school district was created in 1924 and organized in 1927 as the old school board and new board consolidated to form the present-day school board. In 1929, the town was hit by a heavy tornado and it destroyed many things in Smyer, but the farmers managed to get back up and rebuilt from the ground up and made it better. In 1951, a new elementary school was built and in 1957, newer additions of the buildings were made to improve the student's time in school. In 1963, Smyer decided that with new plans for a school building, they would create and established a government body in the town and soon enough incorporated the same year. In 1980, the population was 455, and in 2000, the population was 480, the largest peak population ever in Smyer. In 2020, Smyer remodeled, rebuilt, and sold different areas and certain criteria around the town's functions. The town is predicted to grow in the coming years as western Lubbock continues to grow and impact other areas such as Ropesville.
