Beaver Marsh was once a very important stop for stagecoaches. Imagine horse-drawn carriages carrying people and mail across the country! It was part of a historic route called the Oregon Central Military Wagon Road.

A post office opened in Beaver Marsh in 1927, but it only stayed open for about a year, closing in 1928. The community gets its name from a nearby swamp that shares the same name.
