History & geography

History

The children of Arthur Benbow purchased from Ernest Linser and also some land from John Kamper, Jack Bowden and a Mr. Peirce in 1922. It soon became apparent that ranching would not be sufficient to meet their needs so the family constructed the Benbow Inn resort hotel. The Tudorbethan style inn is still in operation on US Route 101 between Humboldt Bay and the San Francisco Bay Area. The post office was established on December 30, 1929, and operated at Benbow until it was merged with the Garberville post office on January 31, 1953.
