BENTON COUNTT.
Benton county was created December
23, 1847, by tha provisional legislature.
(General and ; special laws of 184S-9,
page B0.) It comprised the southern
portion of the Original Yamhill district
out of which Polk district had been ere
ated. Benton county, at the time of its
creation, was all of the original Polk
district from the reestablished southern
line of Polk county to the California
north line. Prior to the creation of
Umpqua county, January 24. 1851, a new
southern line of Benton county was es
tablished by an act of tha territorial les
islature passed January 15, 1861. The
description of this line in section 1 of
said act is as follows:
'The southern boundary of Benton
(word county is omitted) shall be lo
cated as follows: Commencing, In ths
middle of the channel of the Wallaraet
liver, at a point where a line, running
west, will pass three miles south of the
fori on Long- Tom (river) (near Roland
HinTon's field), and running due west to
tha Pacific ocean." (Local, laws Of
1850-1. page 14.) -
It Is named for senator .Thomas H.
Benton of Missouri, who for many years
had been a strong advocate for Oregon.
Benton county is now bounded on ths
