Smithfield

Historic meat market

Smithfield is a district in London historically associated with its meat market, one of Britain's oldest and largest wholesale markets.

In American usage, Smithfield commonly refers to Smithfield Foods, a major pork producer, or to towns in Virginia and Rhode Island: Smithfield hams are a Virginia specialty.
