The place was named after Beverly in the state of Massachusetts . The post office was in operation until 1945.

Immigrants from Germany, more precisely from Fredelsloh in Lower Saxony , have been passed down as residents of Beverly for the late 19th and early 20th centuries .

A 1991 inventory of all Hitchcock County's sites and buildings listed three homes for Beverly, including the town's former school building.
