WELCOME TO

Welcome to Benton County!

For Family, for Quality of Life, Outdoor Adventure, Farm and Business…. Welcome to Benton County!

It is our mission to provide a friendly, safe and secure quality of life for all residents and visitors to our Benton County communities.

Benton County is proud of the fact that we are an agricultural county. Over 70% of our acreage here is farmland. We are also the home to a number of exceptional outdoor spaces and venues, such as, the DNR’s Willow Slough with JC Murphey Lake, LaSalle Fish and Game Preserve, Willow Slough Shooting Range, Kankakee Sands Nature Conservancy with their bison viewing area , Fair Oaks Farms and George Ade’s Historic Hazelden Estate. For hikers and walkers, we offer miles of Newton County trails and walking paths.

Newton County is Indiana’s youngest county, meaning we were the last county to be officially formed in Indiana. We have a rich and colorful past history! We boast having once been home to the largest fresh water lake, Beaver Lake, where counterfeiters and horse thieves operated on Bogus Island. We are the birth place to world renown playwright and author, George Ade, former Indiana Governor, Warren T. McCray and Hall of Fame baseball player, Sam Rice.

Newton County is fortunate to  have the support of our county officials, local leaders and our business community, all of whom share a vested interest in helping our county grow in the right way, insuring our rural quality of life and our future.
