WELCOME TO BEVERLY HILLS, TEXAS
Beverly Hills is an
incorporated city on State Highway 6, four miles south of
downtown Waco in south central McLennan County. By the early
1940s, the community of 237 had voted to incorporate. Afterward,
the population of Beverly Hills grew rapidly, from 703 in
the early 1950s to 2,670 in the late 1970s; many residents
chose to live there and commute to work in Waco.
Waco eventually grew to surround Beverly Hills, leaving the
community unable to expand its boundaries. The smaller community
was dependent on Waco for its water supply and sewage disposal,
and although it had its own business district, its economy
was closely linked with that of Waco. In 1989 the population
of Beverly Hills was estimated at 2,364. In 2000 the population
was 2,113.
