In 1919 the Canadian National Railway surveyed the Beechy area and determined it to be an ideal place for a marketplace.

The growth in population brought other much-needed services to this rural community, the first grain elevator was constructed in 1922.

The Sand Castles and Sunken Hill formations are 7.2 kilometres (4.5 mi) south-west of Beechy, north of Lake Diefenbaker.

The scenic giant Sand Castles were formed due to many years of wind and rain erosion.

The Sunken Hill was formed from the sudden collapse of a subterranean natural gas pocket.

In 1991, the Beechy Union Hospital was closed by the provincial government and the building now serves as a clinic.
