It's a small village similar to Valley Brook. (Only smaller and no strip clubs) It's basically a neighborhood around 15th and Bryant. I believe there's even a worn out old sign that says you are entering Smith Village. Other than that, it's difficult to make a distinction between it, OKC, and Del City .

Since Oklahoma City is configured in north and south coordemates, and some people may try to find this place, it is wise to tell people whether a place is north or south, and east or west.

Oklahoma City has expanded a lot over the years through annexation. This must be one of the few communities that decided against it.

Click on the link and you will see Smith Village on the map.

It's a fairly tiny place; its boundaries are Bryant Avenue, Del Rancho Road (which could be SE 11th Street), Brookdale Drive and SE 15th Street. It's surrounded on three sides by Del City; Oklahoma City is on the west side of Bryant. Population peaked at 93 in the Sixties; the 2000 Census reports 40.

That must be why the people down the street can have a eye sore yard sale ever day of the week.

theres a flea market at the bryant and 15th street corner. I think it is for sale for an outrageous price.
