Etymology — Dudley Chase, a grantee, awoke in town one morning and told of having dreamed of the Biblical story of Jacob sleeping in a field with a stone for a pillow. In the biblical story, Jacob had named the place Beth-el (House of God). Chase's associates were so impressed that they named the town the same.
