Beaver Springs was first called Reigertown before the name was changed by the post office. It was named for Adam Reiger. He was given the land as a land grant from the Penn proprietors. The town was also known for a time as Adamsburg.[3] The current name was based on the beavers who were active in a local stream and an important spring that was along its main street.[4] In 2006, Beaver Springs celebrated its bicentennial.
