sú obec, ktorá leží úpätí Malých Karpát. Prvá zmienka o Smoleniciach, ville Solmus, je z roku 1256. Vtedy patrila pezinsko – svätojurským grófom. Koncom 14. storočia Stiborovi zo Stiboríc, následne opäť pezinsko – svätojurským grófom. V 16. storočí Orságovcom, po 17. storočí Pálfyovcom. V chotári sa nachádza Smolenický zámok s krásnym priľahlým parkom. Významnou pamiatkou je – haltštatské hradisko. Je to kniežacie hradisko zo staršej doby železnej (7 – 6 st. pr. n. l.), ktoré tvorilo mohutné kamenné s bránami a vežami (Informačná tabuľa). Na ploche 12 – 14 hektárov sa rozprestieralo veľké hradisko. Tri nádvoria chránili . Opevnenie tvoril voľne sypaný kameň, spevnený násyp a drevené . Na mieste sa našli aj veží a , obytné drevené . Vyrábali sa tu nástroje, , , odlieval sa , vyrábali sa kamenné žarnovy. Najdôležitejšou bola zrejme nití a tkanín. V čase rozkvetu tu žilo asi 800 obyvateľov (Wikipedia.sk). Molpír sa považuje za niekdajšie mocenské a hospodárske centrum širokého okolia. Hradisko zaniklo v 4. storočí pred n. l. ( Informačná tabuľa). 

Neďaleko od hradiska  je slovanské pohrebisko z predveľkomoravského a veľkomoravského obdobia, ktoré porušilo mohylník zo strednej doby bronzovej. V okolí Smoleníc sa našlo pomerne veľké množstvo neolitických artefaktov, ako napr. , kamenné , na drvenie obilia, . Asi z obdobia okolo rokov 1700 – 1500 pred. n.l sa tu našli pozostatky mohylovej stredodunajskej, z jej výrazným prvkom žliabkovanej keramiky. Ku Smoleniciam sa viaže , ktorého súčasťou je rovnomenný náučný chodník. Jeho súčasťou je Národná prírodná rezervácia , ktorá je jedinou verejne prístupnou jaskyňou Malých Karpát. Nad obcou je ďalšia národná prírodná rezervácia, . Nad Smolenicami sa čnie najvyšší vrch Malých Karpát – (767 m), okrem neho napr. vrch (Zdroj: Informačná tabuľa).

Hnali sa za jeleňom, ktorý splašený vbehol na cestu rovno do smoliara! Skočil mu do voza a prevrátil ho. sa rozliala po zemi. Smoliar celý preľaknutý skríkol: „Smole nic!“. A tak toto miesto začali nazývať Smolenicami (panorama.sk).

Smolenice majú dve časti: Smolenice a Smolenickú Novú Ves (pôvodne ). Gróf Jozef postavil v rokoch 1880 až 1883 v doline pod Majdánom pri obci chemický závod na spracovanie dreva. Začala sa stavať lesná železnica, neskôr priemyselná železnica z na stanicu. Celá sieť bola zlikvidovaná po roku 1960. V roku 1968 sa začala písať iného chemického závodu na výrobu farieb – Chemolaku. Známymi osobnosťami Smoleníc sú napr.: vynálezca padáka Banič, regionálny historik (Wikipedia.sk).

Smolenice is a village situated at the foothills of the Small Carpathians. The mention of Smolenice, then called Solmus, dates back to the year 1256. At that time, belonged to the -Saint George Counts. By the end of the 14th century, it was owned by of Stiborice, and later again by the Pezinok-Saint George Counts. In the 16th century, it belonged to the Orság family, and after the 17th century, to the Pálfy family. Within the village’s territory lies Smolenice Castle, surrounded by a beautiful park. A significant historical site is Molpír, a Hallstatt hillfort, a princely fortification dating back to the older Iron Age (7-6th century BC), featuring massive stone fortifications with gates and towers (Information Board). The hillfort covered an area of 12-14 hectares, with three courtyards protected by ramparts. The fortifications consisted of loose stones, reinforced embankments, and wooden structures. Foundations of towers, a round bastion, and residential wooden huts were discovered on-site. The inhabitants engaged in tool-making, knife production, weapon crafting, bronze casting, and the production of stone grinders. The most important was likely the production of threads and fabrics, and at its peak, around 800 people lived here (.sk). Molpír is considered a former political and economic center of the wider region and disappeared in the 4th century BC (Information Board).

Near the hillfort is a Slavic burial site from the pre-Great Moravian and Great Moravian periods, which disturbed a barrow from the Middle Bronze Age. In the vicinity of Smolenice, a relatively large number of Neolithic artifacts were found, such as axe hammers, stone axes, grinding stones, and ceramics. From the period around 1700-1500 BC, remains of the Middle Danubian barrow culture with its distinctive grooved pottery were discovered. Smolenice is associated with Smolenice Karst, which includes a nature trail of the same name. The National Nature Reserve Driny Cave, the only publicly accessible cave in the Small Carpathians, is part of it. Another national nature reserve, Dolina Hlboče, is located above the village. Záruby (767 m) is the highest peak in the Small Carpathians, overlooking Smolenice, along with other peaks like Veterlín (Source: Information Board).

According to local legend, the site of the current village was once a forest with a road passing through it. Once, a resin worker (smoliar) was traveling along the road with a wagon full of resin. Nobles were hunting in the forest, chasing a deer that, startled, ran onto the road right into the resin worker! It jumped into his wagon and overturned it. The resin spilled on the ground. The terrified resin worker exclaimed, „Smole nic!“ which means „Nothing but resin!“ And so, this place began to be called Smolenice (panorama.sk).

Smolenice consists of two parts: Smolenice and (originally Neštich). Count built a chemical plant for wood processing in the valley below near the village of Horné Orešany between 1880 and 1883. A forest horse railway began to be built, later an industrial railway from the factory to the station. The entire network was dismantled after 1960. In 1968, the history of another chemical plant producing paints, , began. Notable personalities from Smolenice include parachute inventor and regional historian Štefan Jastrabík (Wikipedia.sk).
