One of several areas in Bangor named after famous American streets. Beverley Hills was developed around the 1920s/1930s, coinciding with the American cinematic influences of the age. Marcus Patton http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/090045752X records that "the road was developed on the line of a lane that originally led to the farm of Samuel Johnson, whose wife Amy was a devotee of the silver screen".
