Saline County

Saline County is an administrative division in central Arkansas with Benton serving as its county seat. The area encompasses multiple towns and rural communities that form part of the broader Little Rock metropolitan region.

Saline County was established on November 2, 1835, when Arkansas designated Benton as its administrative center for local governance and jurisdiction. The area grew as settlers and businesspeople sought opportunities near the emerging Little Rock region.

The Saline County government maintains regular board meetings and committee sessions, fostering involvement from residents in shaping local policies and development.

County offices are located in Benton and offer services including property assessment, voter registration, and permit issuance. Many of these services are available through both in-person visits and online platforms.

The county coordinates emergency management through a dedicated 911 administration system, serving the population of 35,014 residents in Benton and surrounding areas.
