Town History

Beaver Springs, located in Snyder County, 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. 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. Beaver Springs boasts an historic 1/4 mile dragstrip nestled among the scenic rolling hills in the heart of central Pennsylvania, midway between Selinsgrove and Lewistown. The population was 634 at the 2000 census.

Beaver Springs had one National Bank chartered during the Bank Note Era and it issued National Bank Notes.
