Beersville is a small community in Weldford Parish located 3.92 km SSE of Fords Mills and was named for John A. Beers (1860–1951) The community had a Post Office from 1900 to 1965 and in 1904 Beersville was a station on the Intercolonial Railway and a farming settlement with 1 post office, 1 store, 1 sawmill, 1 church and a population of 100. At one point it was a part of Emerson, at another, Emerson was a separate community but the place name was removed and the name is now honoured in the area by a road through Beersville called Emerson Road. Emerson was possibly named for Henry Robert Emerson (1853–1914), the Premier of New Brunswick from 1897 to 1900 and in 1904 Emerson was a farming settlement with 1 post office. Beersville is located on Route 465.
Beersville has a church (St. James Presbyterian Church), a local community center and was home of the local fire department for many years before it was moved to nearby Fords Mills.
