Bensonville is the capital city of Montserrado County, Liberia. As of the 2008 national census, its population stood at 4,089.[1] Bensonville is located away from the national capital, Monrovia, which is also located in Montserrado County.[2] It is a commercial center for the surrounding agricultural area.[3]
It was the birthplace of William R. Tolbert, Jr., the 20th president of Liberia. Before he was killed in a coup in 1980, Tolbert had planned to make Bensonville the country's new capital city.[2]
Prior to the Liberian Civil War, Bensonville's industrial activity included producing milled rice, sawn wood, soap, plastics, paints, furniture and fixtures, cement blocks, oils, processed fish, and confections.[3]
