Smith Island is an island located adjacent to the southern end of the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Northampton County near Cape Charles.

They intended to make salt by boiling down the sea water. They settled along Old Plantation Creek at Dale's Gift on the mainland, but established the salt works on Smith Island.
