George Monroe Beebe (October 28, 1836 – March 1, 1927) was an American politician and a U.S. Representative from New York.
Born in New Vernon, New York, Beebe was the son of Primitive Baptist minister Gilbert Beebe and Pheobe Ann Cunningham Beebe. He attended the common schools, and Walkill Academy, Middletown, New York. He studied law and graduated from the Albany Law School in 1857. In 1861 he married Cornelia Foster of Monticello, New York.
Beebe was admitted to the bar in 1857 and commenced practice in Monticello, New York. He moved to Peoria, Illinois, in 1857 and became editor of the Central Illinois Democrat. He moved to Troy, Doniphan County, Territory of Kansas, in 1858; and continued the practice of law, and served as member of the Territorial council in 1858 and 1859. He was appointed by President Buchanan as secretary of the Territory in 1859, and was Acting Governor in 1860 and 1861.
Beebe moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1861 and to Virginia City, Nevada, in 1863, continuing the practice of law. He was an unsuccessful candidate for associate judge of the State supreme court in 1865, and returned to Monticello, New York. He became editor of the Republican Watchman in 1866. An unsuccessful candidate for the State senate in 1871, he was a member of the New York State Assembly (Sullivan Co.) in 1873 and 1874. Commissioned by Governor Dix as chief of artillery with the rank of colonel in the Fifth Division, National Guard of New York, in 1873, he resigned in 1874 to enter Congress.
