After reading this I realised that I had no idea who (or what) Beverly Hills was named for. It turns out that it was named after the town of Beverly Massachusetts. Who was Beverly Massachusetts named after, you might be asking? Well, it seems that it was also named in honor of yet another town; Beverly England. The name is from and old Saxon word meaning a place with beavers.
While Beverly Hills California might be said to have plenty of beavers, they are of an entirely different sort.
