Benton County
Benton County, formed in 1836, was named after U.S. Sen. Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. The landscape of the county is gently rolling hills, with woodlands and lakes. The courthouse is on the square in Bentonville, near the site of Arkansas' most significant Civil War battle at Pea Ridge. Mementos of Confederate heroes are located throughout the courthouse. The county, historically a fruit-growing center, has a diversified economy that includes agriculture, especially dairy and poultry. From the corporate headquarters of Wal-Mart to light manufacturing, business is booming in Benton County. The population of Benton County is 283,333 (2020 Census). Benton County's natural resources are as varied as its economy. Beaver Lake offers fishing and water recreation. Orchards and pastures, museums and art galleries, dogwood tours in the fall, arts and crafts fairs, country music, symphony concerts, and a community theater are all popular with the local people as well as visitors.
