Beaverville is a quaint village located in Beaverville Township, Iroquois County. It was originally named St. Marie. Founded in 1851 by 32 French-Canadian families from Montreal, led by Francis Besse, the settlers sought fertile farmland. They traveled via the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes, drawn by the region’s rich soil and Spring and Beaver Creeks. Its early history reflects resilience, with a Catholic church established by 1853, underscoring its cultural and religious roots. Today, Beaverville remains a small, rural community, preserving its heritage as a tight-knit settlement shaped by its French-Canadian origins and agricultural foundation.
