Beaverton was an early home to automobile dealerships. A [[Ford Motor Company]] dealership was established there in 1915; it was purchased by Guy Carr in 1923 and over the years Carr expanded it into several locations throughout Beaverton. There are still several dealerships near the intersection of Walker and Canyon Roads.

In the early 1920s, Beaverton was home to [[Premium Picture Productions]], a [[movie studio]] which produced about fifteen films. The studio site was later converted into [[Bernard's Airport#History|Watt's Field]] and associated aircraft manufacturing facilities. A second Beaverton airport, [[Bernard's Airport]], was later developed farther north, at the present location of the [[Cedar Hills Crossing]] mall.

The [[Beaverton City Library|town's first library]] opened in 1925. Originally on the second floor of the Cady building, it has been moved repeatedly; in 2000 it was moved to its current location on Hall Boulevard and 5th Street. A branch location was opened for the first time in June 2010, when the Murray-Scholls location opened near the Murrayhill neighborhood. The Beaverton libraries and 15 other local libraries participate in the [[Washington County Cooperative Library Services]].
