Covering about 105.5 acres (42.7 ha), the district is centered on the junction of Main Avenue (New Hampshire Route 107A), South Road, and Chase Road in northwestern South Hampton, abutting its border with East Kingston.

[1] Smith's Corner is located in northwestern South Hampton, a rural community in southeastern New Hampshire.

It featurered several taverns, of which the Smith House at Main Avenue and Stagecoach Lane is one that still survives.

The George Goodwin House, located a short way west of that junction, was also given a tavern license.

The most prominent buildings were built in the mid-19th century for the stage trade, and are Greek Revival character.
