Etymology & History
Most likely named after Beverley Brook, a nearby river whose name derives from the former presence of the European beaver (Castor fiber), extinct in Britain since the sixteenth century. 'Bever' was Middle English for beaver, while 'ley' meant meadow, so Beverley Brook means 'Beaver-Meadow Stream.'
