Beaver Pond was a stop along the Cincinnati, Portsmouth and Virginia Railroad, which later became part of the Norfolk & Western Railway’s Norfolk to Cincinnati’s mainline in 1901. The stop was a simple station to shuttle customers to the nearby Mineral Springs Resort (Kelley, 2010). In 1947, the Norfolk & Western constructed a new line north and west from Mineral Springs to Peebles, which had an easier grade and curvature to negotiate. When the new mainline received a secondary track, the old line, which had sharp turns and a steeper grade was abandoned in a few short years (Anonymous, 1948, p. 742).
Beaver Pond is noted on topographical maps, but it is unpopulated.
