Benton Location
Benton and Beyond
Located in the Little Rock metro area, Benton, Arkansas is the county seat of Saline County and was chosen as such in the 1830s because of its central location in relation to Little Rock.
Covering a land area of almost 18 square miles, Benton lies at an elevation of 407 feet. To the north, the 204-mile-long Saline River remains undeveloped, being primarily used for recreational purposes and as a home for varied wildlife.
Within 25 miles of Benton lies the state capital of Little Rock with more than 100,000 residents. Other nearby communities include Alexander, Bryant, Haskell, Traskwood and Tull, all within 10 miles of Benton and many of which are accessible by Interstate 30 with other major roadways in the area including U.S. 67, U.S. 70 and Highway 35.
