About Benton City, Washington
Benton City is a city of 3,479 people in Benton County, on the north bank of the Yakima River. The Yakama, Umatilla, Klickitat, Wallula and other Native peoples hunted and fished here long before settlers came. In 1907 the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company chose to run a line across the river to Kiona, and that set off growth on the north side. Railroad engineer F. L. Pitman paid homesteaders David and Ellen McAlpin $422 for 158.2 acres, and the station and the town plat both followed in 1909.
Investors ran ads in Spokane papers that promised $4 million in improvements. By 1912 up to 10 trains a day stopped at the junction of the Walla Walla and North Yakima lines. The grand rail hub never came, and some people blamed the 1909 death of railroad chief E. H. Harriman. By 1918 fewer than 50 people lived in town, and in 1919 the county lowered taxes because residents were overpaying for their land. Farming carried Benton City instead, and it was incorporated on July 2, 1945.
“the fight is the one which engrosses the minds of the Benton County citizens to the practical exclusion of all other questions”
- 185 votes for county seatIn April 1912 Pitman pushed for Benton City to replace Prosser as county seat, offering free land for a courthouse. Kennewick joined the race, and its papers charged that Prosser had set Benton City up to split the vote; most of its 256 petition signers lived in Prosser. Kennewick beat Prosser 2,114 votes to 1,547 but missed the 60 percent it needed, so Prosser kept the seat. Benton City drew 185.
- An outhouse on the courthouse lotThe county seat fight returned in 1922, when Stephen J. Harrison and L. L. Todd gave land for a courthouse in Benton City. Right before the November election, local pranksters dragged a stolen outhouse onto the lot and hung a sign naming it the future courthouse. Prosser won again, and Benton City never came closer to the seat.
- A 48-room railroad hotelHarrison and Todd spent more than $40,000 on the three-story Benton City Hotel in 1909. They expected it to fill with businessmen and travelers passing through a busy railroad city. When the rail plans faded, it housed workers instead, until fire destroyed it in 1926.
- Orchards on the Sunnyside CanalBy 1911 the Washington Nursery Company was swamped with orders for apple, peach, pear and cherry trees for the new townsite. The Sunnyside Canal brought irrigation to the area in 1915, and alfalfa, apples, cherries, peaches and asparagus became the main crops. Today the city is known for its wineries.
