== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Benton County is powerfully Republican, and historically, is arguably Arkansas' most Republican county.
* Maysville once rivaled Bentonville in size, according to local history. It is also the state's westernmost settlement.
* Highfill is home to the Northwest Arkansas National Airport.
* Gateway used to be a speed trap.
* Taking up much of the county's southeastern area is Hobbs State Park - Conservation Area. The park contains five campsites along the Pigeon Roost Trail. The sites are primitive, and some overlook Beaver Lake. It does not contain any other types of cabin or lodging.
* Lake Keith, a small water basin in the middle of Cave Springs, harbors the rare Ozark Cavefish (Amblyopsis rosae). Fishing in Lake Keith has been banned due to the endangered species.
* The Benton County Electric Mills are located near Cherokee City.
* In 2012, Benton County voters elected to make the county wet, or a non-alcohol prohibition location.
* Most of Beaver Lake is within the eastern half of Benton County, and it's a very popular tourist destination, along with being quite the hotspot for trainers looking to catch a Water-type.
