The star formation history and kinematics of intermediate-age and old populations in the Small Magellanic Cloud are the subject of this brief review. New results confirm the occurrence of a period of enhanced SF about 8–10 Gyr ago in the SMC. Younger populations are confirmed to be more centrally concentrated than older ones. The SMC, at least in the areas studied (which do not include the Bar) seems to have had a different history of star formation from the LMC. Although the kinematics of the SMC have been extensively studied, it is still unclear if there are distinct Bar, disk and halo components, or if all populations share the same kinematics.
