Beirne was first settled in 1880 by James Lewis Beirne of Grafton, Illinois on 800 acres (3.2 km2) that he had purchased. Within a year there was a planing mill and a store, along with a railroad depot to serve the area.[3]
In 1890 the community was known alternately as Beirne or Beirne Station.[4]
By 1897, Beirne had at least two saw mills that made lumber for furniture and other uses.[3]
Lumber is still the main industry in Beirne, with Anthony Timberlands having their hardwood operation there.[5]
State Highway 51 passes north–south through the Beirne.
For rail freight Beirne is served by the Union Pacific Railroad, which passes through the community and has a spur into the Anthony Timberlands lumber mill.
