Bendena is an unincorporated community in Doniphan County, Kansas, United States. Its ZIP Code is 66008. Originally hailed by the name of "Albers," after the Albers family who came originally from Gidenburg, Jever, Germany, and farmed on this land. But when the United States Postal Service established a post office there, they required a change of name because of similarities to other town names in Kansas. It was thus named for the sweetheart of the first telegraph operator at the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska railroad station.
The community is part of the St. Joseph, MO–KS Metropolitan Statistical Area.
