Bengeo

Bengeo /ˈbɛn.dʒoʊ/ is a suburb of Hertford, in the East Hertfordshire district of Hertfordshire, England. Bengeo lies on the north bank of the River Beane, which separates it from the rest of Hertford.

Bengeo was historically a separate village and parish. As well as the village itself, the parish also included rural areas to the north, including the hamlets of Tonwell and Chapmore End. In 1892, the borough boundaries of Hertford were extended across the Beane to include the southern part of Bengeo parish, including the village, which area was becoming increasingly urbanised. In 1894, the civil parish of Bengeo was split, with the part outside the borough becoming a separate parish called Bengeo Rural.

Bengeo itself now forms part of the civil parish of Hertford and is also classed as part of the Hertford built up area. It gives its name to the Hertford Bengeo ward, which also includes areas south of the Beane.
