A Look Back: Beverly's History
Beverly has a simple but interesting past. A post office was first opened here in 1881. This was a very important service back then! It allowed people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1945.
The community of Beverly got its name from a much older and larger city: Beverly, Massachusetts. It was common for new settlements to be named after places people came from or admired.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
You might be wondering what an "unincorporated community" is. It is a place where people live together, but it is not officially organized as a city or town. This means it does not have its own mayor or city council.
Instead, the area is usually governed by the larger county it is part of. For Beverly, that is Hitchcock County. Services like roads and law enforcement are managed by the county government.
