Smolník is situated at an altitude of 561 m in the valley of the Smolník stream in the northeastern part of the Slovenské Rudohorie (Slovak Ore Mountains) region.
It was first mentioned in a document of 1327 as Semelnech. The first settlers of the old mining village in the 13th century were Germans from Gelnica (Göllnitz).
Smolník received the status of a free mining town in 1327.
