Bendena, one of the villages of Doniphan county, is located in Wolf River township, on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific R. R., 7 miles south of Troy, the county seat. It has a bank, express and telegraph offices, and a money order postoffice with one rural route. The population in 1910 was 150. This town was established in 1886 and for a time called Albers in honor of John Albers, a pioneer of the neighborhood. When the postoffice was established the name was changed to Bendena. In 1861 Miss Strode taught one of the early schools of the county on the site of the town. The only furniture in the room was rude benches fastened to the wall.
