Then the place was under the sovereignty of the Counts of Montbéliard. Together with Franche-Comté , Beveuge finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Until its own church was built in the 19th century, the village belonged to the parish of Saint-Ferjeux. Since 2000, Beveuge has been a member of the Communauté de communes du Pays de Villersexel, which comprises 33 localities .

With 83 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), Beveuge is one of the smallest communes in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (224 people were still counted in 1886), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since then.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Beveuge was mainly a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. In addition, there are now some local small businesses. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located off the main thoroughfares on a departmental road that leads from Villers-la-Ville to Senargent. Other road connections exist with Villargent, Saint-Ferjeux and Athesans-Étroitefontaine .
