Benson is a census-designated place (CDP) in Cache County, Utah, United States.

[1] It is immediately south of Amalga, across Utah State Route 218, and is west of the Logan-Cache Airport.

As of February 2024, the Benson community was engaged in the process of becoming an incorporated municipality.

At the Riverside School, the teacher, Mary Griffith, was paid $30 a month in 1896.

John Mathews bought the log building that was on the Riverside location and spent many hours directing cantatas.

In 1897 a new brick school house was built in the west part of Benson.

This school was built on a spot of land overlooking the Bear River.

The Benson Elementary School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1968 it closed its doors, and the Cache County School Board felt it best to consolidate some of the smaller schools in the county to provide a wider curriculum while saving money at the same time.
