In 1885, the Nebraska legislature enacted legislation to establish the Institution for Feeble Minded Youth near Beatrice, subject to the city's donating a suitable parcel of land.: 303 Beatrice donated 40 acres, located 2 miles (3 km) east of the city limits, and the first residents were admitted in 1887.Over the following decades, the institution expanded greatly.
By 1935, there were 1171 residents living on 519 acres (210 ha). The institution was largely self-supporting, operating a farm on which the residents did much of the work; in 1935, 346 acres (140 ha) were under cultivation.In 1945, the institution was renamed the Beatrice State Home. Its resident population peaked at about 2300 in the late 1960s.
From there it declined: new restrictions had been imposed on the use of unpaid labor by residents of institutions, and there was a national trend toward deinstitutionalization. In 1975, the Horacek v. Exon lawsuit was settled with a consent decree whereunder many of the residents of the Beatrice State Home were transferred to community-based mental health facilities.
In that year, the institution's name was changed to the current Beatrice State Developmental Center.A 2006 investigation by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services revealed a number of severe deficiencies at the Center; after two years of appeals, the Center lost its Medicaid certification in 2009.As of 2011, the Center served about 175 clients.
The majority had been diagnosed with "severe" or "profound" retardation; nearly all suffered from two or more other disabling conditions.On June 11, 2022 five separate tornadoes touched down here according to the radar as well as local officials.
