Beverly Beach
Beverly Beach was named in the early 1930s by Curtis F. and Florence May Christy, who owned the property in this location.[2] They wished to establish a seaside community there, and asked their young daughter, Florence Daneene Christy (Pearson), what it should be named.[2] Her favorite doll was named "Beverly", so that was the name she chose.[2]
