   SMITHFIELD CELEBRATES ITS NEW BOAT RAMP To draw attention to
Smithfield's reconstructed boat ramp on the Neuse
River, the town's Parks & Recreation
Department hosted its first annual "River Rat
Regatta" on Saturday, July 14. The event featured
about 30 homemade cardboard boats that raced from
the ramp downstream about 250 yards to the Market
Street bridge. The original boat ramp at this site
was built by the town as part of Smithfield's
200th birthday celebration in 1977. The new ramp
was built by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission and features a floating dock. Its
location at the north end of Front Street is
believed to be near the site of Smith's Ferry, a
late 18th Century colonial landmark that gave
birth to a settlement first known as "Johnston
County Court House," later incorporated as the
Town of Smithfield.
