Benton

Few communities in central Maine have a past as closely bound to the Kennebec River as Benton. Set on its eastern bank in Somerset County, the town occupies a settled stretch of the Kennebec Valley, where the river has long influenced travel, work and patterns of settlement. Incorporated in 1842, Benton forms part of the wider Waterville area, but retains a distinctly small-town character, with residential streets, open land and wooded edges following the river corridor. The surrounding valley reflects Maine’s working-river heritage and its enduring connection to forests and waterways.
