Bennington is a census-designated place in Bear Lake County, Idaho, United States.

Bennington is a small farming community settled by Mormon Pioneers in 1864.

It was named by Brigham Young after a town in Vermont near where he was born and grew up.

Among its founders was Amos Wright who, according to his grandson, the Bennington-born writer David L. Wright, before founding Bennington was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for riding his horse into a meetinghouse and shooting out the lights.
