Benton is a city in and the county seat of Franklin County, Illinois. The population was 6,709 at the 2020 census. In 1839, Franklin County was split roughly in half and the county seat was permanently fixed "at a hill at the south end of Rowling's Prairie", the site of the future city of Benton. Benton's namesake is Missouri senator Thomas Hart Benton. The village of Benton was organized in 1841 on 20 acres (8.1 ha) of property donated by John Ewing and Walter S. Akin. In 1902, the village became a city, and incorporated under the mayor/commissioner form of government. The Franklin County Courthouse sat in the center of the Public Square. It was the fourth courthouse that served the people of Franklin County. The Italianate building was constructed in 1874–75 for $27,500. Much of Benton's growth in the past was due to an abundance of high sulfur coal, multiple railroads that pass through the town, fertile soil, and its industry. Read More
A headshop sometimes is also known as a smoke shop. This is a store that embraces an alternative lifestyle with many of the products for the mind or for smoking tobacco or cannabis. Headshops and smoke shops have been around for many years, starting in the 1960’s. High-end headshops carry some very very nice bongs and dab rigs along with vaporizers to consume herbs in style and more healthier. Headshops like Elev8 Glass Gallery are here because of the love for glass and are not just a head shop, but more a way of life.
