Our story starts way back in 1887 with Erastus Benson, a land speculator, investor and philanthropist. He purchased 900 or so acres of land from Edward Creighton, an Omaha businessman. On March 4, 1887, Erastus platted the land and called it Benson Place, later changing it to Benson. We were annexed into the City of Omaha in 1917.
