Brief
History:
Benton County is a county in
the south-central portion of the U.S.
state of Washington. The county seat
is Prosser,
and its largest city is Kennewick.
The Columbia River demarcates the county's
north, south, and east boundaries.
Benton County was created from what
were then larger versions of Klickitat
County and Yakima County on March
8, 1905, and was named after
Missouri statesman Thomas Hart Benton.
