It was named after John Swift who settled there having received a grant for the land in 1760. He sold the land to Jacob Lechner. He named the town after Swift. The town of Beavertown was later named after Peter Bievernour and Rebecca Bievernour (née Nichman) of the Pennsylvania Bevenour family. “About 1840, Rebecca Beavernour [sic] (proper spelling Bievenour) kept a little confectionary store on the site of this village ... Soon afterward, other houses were built near the Beavernour store and since then, an attractive little village has grown up, now known as Beavertown.” George R.
