Smith's Ferry is a neighborhood in Holyoke, Massachusetts, United States, located to the north of the city center, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from downtown.

Smith's Ferry is the second largest geographic division in Holyoke after Rock Valley, comprising roughly 3,800 acres (1,500 ha) of mixed residential, commercial, and recreational zoning.

[3] By 1704, around half a dozen families lived in Smith's Ferry, often banding together at nights and "forting" in a single house to stave off attacks from the local natives.

Several of these men would go on to attack Smith's Ferry, crossing over the Mount Tom Range and setting fire to the homestead of Benjamin Wright.

[8] The movement to annex the neighborhood gained considerable momentum when on March 21, 1909, the canoe club's property burned to the ground due to a grass fire ignited by sparks from a passing locomotive.

By the time Holyoke firefighters arrived, the building was considered a total loss; however, they were able to extinguish flames that had spread to the adjacent railroad ties and telephone poles.

"[11] Ultimately the fire became a driving force in the call for annexation; weeks later, a legislative committee on cities arrived in Holyoke and toured the clubhouse ruins with Wyckoff.

[13] At the time of its passage, the act required the City of Holyoke pay $7,000 to the Hampshire County government to compensate for the construction of the state road in the area.

[23] The railway in Smith's Ferry was originally a part of the Connecticut River Railroad system, with a homonymous passenger station which served the Mount Holyoke Seminary during the 19th century.
