The first European-American settler in the area was Ezra Beardsley, who came in the early 1800s, and the settlement was initially known as Beardsley's Prairie. On December 4, 1828, a post office was established in a store operated by Thomas H. Edwards, Cass County's first merchant, with Edwards as its first postmaster. On February 1, 1830, the post office was renamed Edwardsburgh. On December 29, 1845, the name of the post office was shortened to Edwardsburg. The village was platted by Alexander H. Edwards in 1831, and the village was incorporated in 1911.
