About Bentonville
Bentonville is the Benton County seat and the corporate capital of Northwest Arkansas (54,164 at the 2020 census, estimated 63,057 in 2025) — home to Walmart's world headquarters and 350-acre home office campus. It has reinvented itself as a cultural and outdoor destination: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (founded by Alice Walton, designed by Moshe Safdie) anchors a thriving downtown square, and the city is a nationally recognized mountain-biking capital with an extensive trail network. Southern Living called it "the South's next cultural mecca" in 2018.
