Beverly Shores is a town in Pine Township, Porter County, Indiana, United States, about 36 miles east of downtown Chicago. The population was 613 at the 2010 census. Beverly Shores began life as a planned resort community. The Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Railway began to provide service from South Bend to Chicago shortly after 1900. The Chicago businessman Samuel Insull reorganized the line as the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend in 1925, upgrading the stations and encouraging tourism. A number of promotional posters were issued, many of which remain in print.
