In 1865, Bentonville was a local market center for naval stores such as tar, pitch and turpentine. The nearby battle of Bentonville, fought March 19-21, 1865, took its name from the village. Confederates concentrated there the day before the battle, and as they retreated on March 22, they burned all stocks of naval stores. Union forces occupied the village from March 22 to 24.
