Beverley Township was a township established in 1792[1] in Home District in the then Upper Canada, today Ontario, Canada. It was named for the town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, by John Graves Simcoe.[2]
In 1974, part of Beverley Township joined North Dumfries Township, while the remainder was amalgamed with West Flamborough and East Flamborough.[1] The area is now part of the city of Hamilton.
