It is located on Highway 12, approximately {{convert|28|km|mi|abbr=on}} northwest of Red Deer. It was named in honour of George Bentley, an early homesteader.[4] HistoryThe first settlers came from the U.S. and either walked or drove oxen from Lacombe, which was the closest railroad station between 1888-1890. The first church was built in 1890 by the Methodists, and a schoolhouse was built in 1903. Bentley was incorporated as a village on March 17, 1915.[5] A disastrous fire destroyed all buildings on the south side of the community in 1916. The centre roadway was made {{convert|36|m|ft}} wide and new buildings could not be constructed inside that area. In 1930, a centre boulevard was constructed for fire protection and street lights installed. Bentley was incorporated as a town on January 1, 2001.[5] DemographicsIn the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Bentley recorded a population of 1,078 living in 441 of its 463 total private dwellings, a {{percentage|{{#expr:1078-1073}}|1073|1}} change from its 2011 population of 1,073.
