from the SMITH burial database of New Zealand

GORE is a town in the deep south. It is 64km northeast of Invercargill and 70km west of Balclutha.
Dunedin and Invercargill are the nearest cities

As crossing the Mataura River involved a long fording, the locality became known as ?the Long Ford? or Longford.
In 1862 a few town sections were surveyed on the west bank of the river and Longford was named Gore as a compliment to Sir Thomas Gore Browne, an early Governor of New Zealand.
One of the first buildings was Long Ford House an accommodation house opened by local sawmill owner Daniel Morton

There are 181 SMITH in the cemeteries run by the Gore District Council as at march 2011
