The Benton Hot Spring is a spring in Mono County, California[2] around which grew the town of Benton[1] (also known as Old Benton,[1] and Hot Springs[3]). It is located 3 miles (4.8 km) west-southwest of Benton and 31 miles (50 km) north-northwest of Bishop, at an elevation of 5630 feet (1716 m).[1] It is part of the Benton census-designated place for statistical purposes.[4]

The Benton post office opened at the place in 1886.[3] The name honors Senator Thomas Hart Benton, United States senator from Missouri.[3] The town saw its heyday from 1862 to 1889 as a supply center for nearby mines.[3] At the end of the 19th century, the town declined and the name Benton was transferred to Benton Station.[3]

Of the springs at the site, one was described in a 1915 book as issuing water at 135 °F (57 °C).[5]

Nearby

Other springs are located nearby: Paert's Hot Springs and Taylor Springs, a little more than 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Benton Hot Springs.[3]
