 It
has often been said that "home is where the heart is." There
is no place that this applies more than here in Benton,
Arkansas.
We have always been known as the heart of Arkansas because we
are the geographical center of the state, but it means much
more than that. Heart is a place to hold near and dear to your
soul, a place to raise your family, a place of harbor and
peace.
Benton has a small town atmosphere, but it is only minutes
away from Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, and Hot
Springs, the first National Park. Many enjoyable events are
held in our community. You can always find something to do
whether it is going to a Friday night football game, attending
Old Fashioned Day on the Courthouse Square, enjoying an
outdoor concert at the amphitheater or taking a scenic canoe
trip down the historic Saline River. There are so many
attractive features of Benton, it would be impossible to list
them all.
I was asked just the other day, "Have you lived in Benton all
of your life?" My reply was, "Not yet, but I fully intend to."
We have a great place to live and raise a family. Come join
us.
Sincerely,
Rick Holland
Mayor, City of Benton
