It was named for the creek that flows through the community and into the [[Willamette River]]. A post office operated under various names in the locality until 1922, when the name was changed to Beavercreek, the form still used today. Beavercreek's ZIP code is 97004. In the summer of 2006, the citizens of Beavercreek voted to become Oregon's first hamlet, a system of quasi-government which exists in Clackamas County, Oregon. A final hearing by the board of county commissioners on the formation of the hamlet took place in September 2006, and officially recognized the community as The Hamlet of Beavercreek.<ref>{{cite news \| url=http://www.oregonlive.com/metrosouthwest/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/metro_southwest_news/1158364557220370.xml&coll=7 \| work=The Oregonian \| title=Sign in to OregonLive.com \| access-date=September 26, 2006 \| archive-date=September 30, 2007 \| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930011135/http://www.oregonlive.com/metrosouthwest/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/metro_southwest_news/1158364557220370.xml&coll=7 \| url-status=dead }}</ref> The hamlet holds monthly community meetings at the Beavercreek [[Grange movement\|Grange]] hall, except for quarterly town hall meetings, which may be held at other locations to accommodate attendance.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/community/packets/beavercreek_bylaws.pdf ~~\|format=PDF~~ \|work=Clackamas County \|title=The Bylaws of the Hamlet of Beavercreek \|date=2007-03-28 \|~~deadurl~~url-status=~~yes~~dead \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070705014120/http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/community/packets/beavercreek_bylaws.pdf \|archivedate=2007-07-05 ~~\|df=~~ }}</ref> ==Education== The community is served by the [[Oregon City School District (Oregon)\|Oregon City School District]],<ref name="SchoolDistrict">{{cite web\|url=http://www.orecity.k12.or.us/\|title=Oregon City School District home page}}</ref> [[Canby School District]],<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.canby.k12.or.us/~~</ref>~~ ~~[[Colton~~\|title = Home - Canby School District}}</ref> ~~(Oregon)\|~~Colton School District]],<ref>{{cite web\|title=Colton School District\|url=http://www.colton.k12.or.us/}}</ref> and [[Molalla River School District]].<ref>{{cite web\|title=Molalla School District\|url=http://www.molallariv.k12.or.us}}</ref> Beavercreek Elementary School is located in the Hamlet.<ref name="SchoolDistrict"/> ==Points of interest== ===Miller House=== Just after 1900, the Miller family built a farm house on the corner of what is now Ridge Road and Lower Highland Road.
