ABOUT BENTON COUNTY:

Benton County is named for Thomas H. Benton, U.S. Senator from Missouri.  It was 
formed on February 18, 1840.  The land that would become Benton County was 
originally part of Jasper County.  

The lands of present northwest Indiana were explored by French explorer Robert
de LaSalle.  At that time the area was inhabited by the Miani Confederation of
Indians.  Through settlement, encroachment, and confrontation, the various
Confederation members were forced to cede their claim to the area.  By 1832, 
all land in northwestern Indiana had been ceded to the United States.
