The town was incorporated in May of 1981.
The celebration took place at the Fred and Margie Pfohl Buckeye Recreation Center where hundreds gathered outside to celebrate the town. During the celebration, there was an Arbor Day tree planting, inflatables for kids to play on, door prizes and a meet-and-greet with town departments and businesses. The Beech Mountain Fire Department and Beech Mountain Police Department also faced off in a cornhole challenge.
The day was capped off with the sealing of a time capsule that will be opened in 20 years. Residents put notes and items in the box for those living in the community in 20 years to find. The time capsule will be buried at another event.
