It is named for Dr. Rudolf Bennitt, a zoology professor who was instrumental in getting the Conservation Department formed in the 1930's. Bennitt also served as technical advisor to the first Commission. The original tract was purchased from 10 sellers in the mid-1960's, the largest former landowner being the Catholic Church of Moberly.
