Benica
human settlement
Benica (pronounced [bɛˈniːtsa] or [ˈbeːnitsa]; Hungarian: Benica) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Lendava in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia. It lies close to the extreme eastern tip of Slovenia, near the Mura River on the right bank of the Ardova Canal, close to the borders with Croatia and Hungary. Until the canal was built in 1910, the area occupied by the settlement was part of the Mura Woods (Slovene: Murska šuma), but then the area was cleared and in 1923 the Esterházy family's manorial possessions were taken away and transferred to settlers who were refugees from the Isonzo Front. Until the Second World War it was a hamlet of Pince.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Benica”, the useful work is to connect “human settlement” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q792897. Authority coordinates are 46.512, 16.506. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1910 and 1923.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
