Smarr is a small, unincorporated community in Monroe County, Georgia. It is a part of the Macon Metropolitan Area. Monroe County was founded on May 15, 1821. The town of Forsyth, which is the county seat, is just a short jaunt from Smarr. Local businesses in Forsyth include Gallery 51- Forsyth's Premier Event Facility and Royal Palm Cafe And Inn. Forsyth became the county seat on December 10, 1823 and was named after John Forsyth. Not to be missed is the Forsyth Commercial Historic District. Here you can stroll around the Courthouse Square and take a step back in time as you meander amongst structures from the 1800's, many of which can be found on the National Register of Historic Places. If your travels lead you to this area in the spring, be sure to attend the annual Forsythia Festival.
