Benton County, Washington — From Irrigation Desert to Atomic Age

Benton County's modern landscape was built by two enormous federal projects that had almost nothing to do with one another.

Prosser anchors county government in the Yakima Valley among vineyards, orchards and irrigated farms. Water transformed naturally dry ground into intensive agriculture, supporting communities such as Benton City, Finley and the agricultural districts surrounding the lower Yakima River.

Farther east, Richland tells a radically different story. During World War II, the federal government selected the Hanford area for plutonium production as part of the Manhattan Project. Residents of existing communities were displaced, Richland expanded as a government town and the Columbia River became part of one of the most consequential industrial projects in American history.

Hanford's legacy is complicated. Plutonium produced there contributed to nuclear weapons, while decades of radioactive and chemical contamination created one of the nation's largest environmental cleanup efforts.

Meanwhile, the county's agricultural economy kept growing. Wine grapes added another layer, and the Prosser area became closely associated with Washington's wine industry and agricultural research.

Benton County consequently contains an unusual historical collision. Irrigation engineering made the desert bloom. Nuclear engineering helped build the atomic age. Both permanently changed the same county—and both left infrastructure that still shapes life there.
