About Benton
Benton is a quiet rural community along Highway 433 in Yazoo County, home to around 400 residents. Founded in the late 1820s, it briefly served as the county seat before government business shifted west to Yazoo City. Today, the area offers peaceful countryside living surrounded by open farmland and timber. Everyday essentials, healthcare, and dining in Yazoo City are only about ten minutes away down the highway.
Benton also serves as a central education hub for the eastern part of the county. Families are close to Yazoo County Middle and High schools, as well as Benton Academy. For leisure, locals enjoy the nine-hole golf course and community gatherings at Benton Country Club. It is a solid option for anyone seeking small-town privacy, neighborly charm, and plenty of open space in central Mississippi.
