Fort Benton history: In Fort Benton, there are many old buildings which are on the National Historic Register. This is not surprising as Fort Benton began in 1846 as a fur trading center. The American Fur Company has established an outpost at the site. It was originally known as Fort Lewis, named by Major Alexander Culbertson. It wasn't until 1850 that the town received it's present name of Fort Benton. It was re-named for Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri.
