In 1913 the area was incorporated as the Village of Beverly and in 1914 became a town. In 1961 Beverly amalgamated with the City of Edmonton to later be divided into neighbourhoods including Beacon Heights. The character of Beacon Heights comes from the combination of low and high density housing and the easy access to commercial routes and services. Civic ward: Métis. District: North Central.
