Description
The Children of Arthur Benbow purchased 1,288 acres from Ernest Linser and also some land from John Kamper, Jack Bowden and a Mr. Peirce in 1922.[6] It soon became apparent that ranching would not be sufficient to meet their needs so the family decided to construct the resort hotel that still stands today.[6] The children were Joseph, Evangeline, Burtis, Clara, Helen, Jessie, Loleta, Walter and Robert. Eight of these children were born in Humboldt County.[6] In the early years the Inn was known as the "Hotel Benbow."[6] It opened on July 17, 1926.[6] The electricity for the hotel came from two diesel generators until a dam and powerhouse was completed on the south fork of the Eel River.[7][5] The post office was established on December 30, 1929 and operated at Benbow from until it was merged with Garberville on January 31, 1953.[5] The Tudorbethan style inn is still in operation as the premier hotel property on US Route 101 between Humboldt Bay and the San Francisco Bay Area.
