He's an urban orphan from Cleveland, though. Why do you think it's "leap tall buildings in a single bound", not "leap grain elevators in a single bound"?

See Action Comics #1 (1938) and Superman #1 (1939). He's a city boy in all the good Superman comics.

afaik the Smallville aspect of the character was developed beginning in the 1950s. the "modern" incarnation of the character is probably best represented by the John Byrne "Man of Steel" limited series from 1986. Very Kansas.
