Beaverhouse is an old settlement on the banks of the Misema River system northeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The name of the community is derived from the Algonquin name of the river, Maaseema Qweesh, where Qweesh refers to a ‘beaver’s nest or house’.
Beaverhouse was not included as a community in the Treaty #9 document, which was initially established in 1906, with adhesions in 1929 and 1930.
