Do you know of West Benton ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about West Benton. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with West Benton.<1>

Our sources for West Benton (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of West Benton other than they indicate that West Benton would be found somewhere in Kennebec County, Maine.
