Beverly is a former urban municipality within the Edmonton Capital Region of Alberta, Canada. Beverly was incorporated as a village on March 22, 1913 and became the Town of Beverly on July 13, 1914.[3] It later amalgamated with the City of Edmonton on December 30, 1961.[4][6] The population of Beverly was 8,969 at the time of amalgamation.[7]
Now located within northeast Edmonton, Beverly was a coal mining community that overlooked the North Saskatchewan River valley. During the first half of the twentieth century, more than 20 coal mines were active in and around the town.[8] The larger mines provided much of the town's employment.
