Beaconsfield is named after a property known as 'Beaconsfield', located in the area in the 1880s. The name was officially adopted for the Post Office in August 1894. The origin is unknown, but is probably from the English town (in Bucks) or after Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, created Earl of Beaconsfield in 1879. Heritage Council.
