The Beasley City Hall could easily be mistaken for someones house. Constucted of buff brick, a single solid door, and two sets of two by four windows. There is a concrete runway and ramp, making this eaily accessible to all residents.
The town of Beasley was originally known as Dyer, for Elizabeth Dyer. Ms. Dyer married Cecil Beasley and not only did her name change, but so did the name of the town.
The Texas Historical Marker out on the "main road" states:
Founded 1894 by Cecil A. Beasley (1862 - 1908), on the Texas & New Orleans Railroad. First called "Dyer" for Isabel Dyer (1871 - 1933), whom Beasley later married. Post office opened as "Beasley," May 13, 1898. The town boomed in 1910, as Stern & Stern Land Co. of Kansas City promoted land sales through a town lot auction. Many new settlers were German and Czech families from Washington County. Soon Beasley had 3 general stores, 2 cotton gins, a 3-story hotel, an ice-house, a public school, and 7 churches.
Beasley was incorporated in 1970 and continues to serve as a marketing center for the area.
