Benson, Arizona
Fastest population growth in Cochise County
Benson, Arizona is the fourth largest municipality in Cochise County, located approximately 45 miles southeast of Tucson, along Interstate 10, AZ 80, AZ 90, and the main line of the Union Pacific Railroad. Of the county’s seven municipalities, Benson is projected to see the fastest population growth in coming decades, due largely to the Villages at Vigneto, a 28,000-home planned community in the city. Benson is home to Kartchner Caverns State Park (named "Best Cave in the Nation" by USA Today), which attracts more than 175,000 visitors annually. The city also has the only AMTRAK passenger station in the county.
