History
The first settlement at Benevolence was made in 1831. Benevolence was so named for the "benevolent" act of a first settler who donated land at the town site so that a Baptist church could be built. A post office called Benevolence was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1984.

By 1900, the community had 61 inhabitants. The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Benevolence as a town in 1911. The town was officially dissolved in 1995.
