The Hub City
Benson, Arizona, is just a small railroad town, with far more history hidden under the surface than one can imagine. The San Pedro Valley started as home to wildlife, and various indigenous peoples. Later it was explored by the Spanish, and became a target for pioneers looking for fertile land, and miners looking for the earth's treasures. It wasn't until the Southern Pacific Railway started putting down tracks to El Paso that Benson began. This small town soon become home to many characters of the old west, and the new west alike. If you're interested in the history of Southeastern Arizona, The Hub City is sure to inspire.
Around Benson
In 1880, the rowdy town of Benson was born when the Southern Pacific Railroad Company recognized a market for transporting mining and ranching products to growing enterprises in the southeastern Arizona Territory. Leading up to the town's incorporation in 1924, nearly all railroads in the Southwest led to Benson, which by that time boasted several hotels, liveries, taverns, churches, and a smelter. By the 1940s, U.S. Highway 80 and State Route 86 junction brought weary travelers to enjoy Benson's clean air, artesian water, and mountain vistas, creating the core of a multiethnic city whose progeny continue to keep the town alive today as the "Gateway to the Land of Cochise."
