Beaverdell was initially called Beaverton. When the post offices of Beaverton and nearby Rendell amalgamated, the name changed to Beaverdell. The Beaverdell Hotel, established in 1901, was Canada's longest continuously operating hotel until it burned to the ground in 2011. The hotel was a favourite stop for travellers along the Great Trail.
Located 87 km from Kelowna on Highway 33, the Beaverdell mine was previously known as the Highland Bell mine. Mining operations took place at the site almost continuously from the early 1900s until the mine permanently closed in 1991, and silver was the primary commodity produced. Teck Corporation Limited acquired the mine in 1969.
