The population was 364 at the 2010 census.〔United States Census Bureau, (American FactFinder ), 2010 Census figures. Retrieved March 23, 2011.〕 Located in the White Mountains, Benton is largely surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest. The town is crossed by the Appalachian Trail. ==History== The town was granted by Governor Benning Wentworth on January 31, 1764 to Theophilus Fitch and others.〔(Article in ''Statistics and Gazetteer of New-Hampshire'' (1875) )〕 It was named Coventry after Coventry, Connecticut, hometown to many of the settlers, who arrived shortly after the beginning of the Revolution.〔(Austin J. Coolidge & John B. Mansfield, ''A History and Description of New England;'' Boston, Massachusetts 1859 )〕 At the suggestion of Governor Isaac Hill, the name was changed on December 4, 1840 to Benton,〔http://www.nh.searchroots.com/documents/grafton/History_Benton_NH.txt〕 in honor of Thomas Hart Benton, the Missouri senator who championed American westward expansion. With a rough and mountainous terrain, the town was not suited for agriculture. But Benton had water power sites and abundant forests. By 1859, when the population was 478, there were five sawmills producing a large quantity of lumber. The Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad ran through the town, which once included the village of Glencliff.〔 Atop Mount Moosilauke in 1860 was built The Prospect House, later renamed The Tip Top House, a stone hotel with accommodations for 35 hikers. A carriage road was built to the summit in 1870, so the hotel was enlarged in 1872 to accommodate 50 guests. In 1920, the hotel and land were given to Dartmouth College, but in 1942, The Tip Top House burned.〔(Frederick Wilkinson Kilbourne, ''Chronicles of the White Mountains;'' Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston and New York 1916 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benton, New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
