In 1895 a legendary coin flip established the town’s name as “Smithville”. Legend has it that a Burleson and a Smith agreed to “toss” for the name, as the town had been known informally for decades as Smithville but the Burleson family had been instrumental in the town’s growth. Mr. Smith supplied the nickel. It was later discovered that it was, in fact, a double-headed nickel! Mr. Burleson is reported to have written: “I was foiled by a fickle nickel !”
