My Commentary:
When one thinks Benton County, one thinks everything Wal-Mart, since Bentonville is the home of Wal-Mart. Benton County was the scene of major fighting in the Civil War at Pea Ridge, has the Daisy air rifle plant at Rogers, and is the home of Crystal Bridges, a world class art museum. It is definitely a lot more than Wal-Mart!
Benton County is a county located in the northwestern corner of the U.S. state of Arkansas. As of the 2010 census, the population was 221,339, making it the second-most populous county in Arkansas. The county seat is Bentonville. The county was formed on September 30, 1836 and was named after Thomas Hart Benton, a U.S. Senator from Missouri. In 2012, Benton County voters elected to make the county wet, or a non-alcohol prohibition location. Benton County is part of the Northwest Arkansas region.
