Beaver Dam is an unincorporated community in Bowie County, in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 55 in 2000. It is located within the Texarkana metropolitan area.
Beaver Dam was named after a large beaver dam at a nearby creek. The predominantly black community did not have a post office, but it did have a business and 10 residents in 1933. The population increased to 25 in the 1940s and 1950s. By the 1980s, Beaver Dam had a church, cemetery, and scattered houses. In 2000, the population was 55.[1]
