I have absolutely loved growing up in Benton, Kentucky! It may be a small town, but there is still plenty of activities to do. This town is so family friendly and family oriented! That is why so many people that grow up here decide to continue their life's and move back here after college to start their families!
Nice town, with friendly people who have mostly been here their entire lives. This is the case, except in the summer, wherein we are a vastly important tourist stop for people who enjoy camping beside the lake. However, without a full-time fire department, we'll never grow with larger businesses.
Benton is a small town community where everyone knows everyone just about. Anytime there is something going on, everyone comes together to help out to whatever situation there may be.
