Founded in 324 under the name Super fluvium Orna, Beaumont has seen its name evolve over the centuries: Bellusmons, Blermont, Byaumont, then Beaumont. In the Middle Ages, the village depended on the abbess of Juvigny-sur-Loison. In 1252, it was freed by the count of Bar. Ravaged during the Thirty Years' War, it lost 22 inhabitants during a plague epidemic at the castle of Ornes.
Built as a parish church around 1700, Beaumont acquired a new church in 1786-87, at the heart of the village. It suffered two invasions: Prussian in 1815, German in 1870\. In 1911, the village had 186 inhabitants. In September 1914, its population is evacuated. Beaumont becomes a no man’s land between the French and German lines.
On February 24, 1916, during the Battle of Verdun, Beaumont falls after fierce fighting. A heroic resistance repels the enemy, but the inequality of forces forces the survivors to retreat. A French counter-attack fails in August 1917\. The village remains occupied until November 1918,
