The Beta Quadrant is home to the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire, as well as a portion of the Federation.

 Star Trek Dimension - Investigating Trek
Although "quadrant" literally refers to a "quarter" and therefore should be logically used for naming a quarter of the Milky Way, it usually refers to a smaller, sector-sized area of space, e.g.
According to this, the quadrants are arranged fairly illogically, neither clockwise nor counter-clockwise: the lower left quadrant is called "Alpha", the lower right one "Beta", the upper left one "Gamma" and the upper right one "Delta".
Beta Quadrant as far as possible simply because they think this would confuse casual viewers, who only know that the crew of Voyager has stranded in the Delta Quadrant and now wants to get back to the Alpha Quadrant, since that is the region where Earth is located.

 Star Trek Dimension - Star Trek Cartography
It is unknown whether this was originally a mistake that wasn't corrected afterwards to keep continuity or if it was dramatic intention to degrade the quadrant of the classic empires of the Romulans and Klingons to a "secondary quadrant" (after all, the Federation is supposed to be mainly located in the Alpha Quadrant!).
On the basis of the diameter of the Milky Way and the number and situation of the quadrants to each other, we can now determine their dimensions: a quadrant has a width of 50000 ly (at the middle dividing line) and the same length (at the middle line as well).
For sectors near the Romulan Neutral Zone in the Beta Quadrant, which were crossed by 2150 for the first time, TOS used sector numbers with two digits, e.g.

Part of the United Federation of Planets is located in the Beta Quadrant, but there has been only limited exploration of the quadrant, in part due to the fact that both the Klingon and Romulan Empires are also located there.
The Gamma Quadrant is home to the Dominion, which is the dominant force in the only part of the quadrant that Starfleet has been able to explore, courtesy of the Bajoran wormhole.

 Talking Points
Whatever Quadrant (or equivalent thereof) one hails from, it would make sense to designate one’s own as being the first, ie ‘Alpha Quadrant’ or ‘Quadrant 1’, and then continue in a systematic fashion for the remainder of the galaxy.
In the TOS era, 'quadrant' was a loosely used term, there seemed to be no distinction between 'quadrant' and 'sector', although today their definitions are established and secure.
Of the principal powers presiding, the Alpha Quadrant contains the Federation, Ferengi Alliance, the Breen, and Cardassian Union, the Beta Quadrant is home to the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire (the remainder of the quadrant is largely unexplored).

Undoubtedly the United Federation of Planets is the strongest power in the Alpha and Beta Quadrant, however, the officially fixed extension of the Federation is so large that the resulting problems can't be simply ignored without further considerations, but have to be solved.
It is a rather unexpected case of luck that twice, the distance to a planet at the border of the Federation in the Beta Quadrant is mentioned.
Because concerning this locally instable phenomenon, beside the situation of the terminus in the Delta Quadrant, also the distances from this location to two further points in the Alpha Quadrant is known, we can use these fixed points for the determination of the (minimum) size of the Federation.

Except of course that Voyager sometimes showed quadrant maps with the position of Alpha all screwed up.
As I said earlier, the Ferengi seem to be in Alpha quadrant in the aired episodes - not only per some wall maps, but also per the fact that they were close to Cardassia yet unknown to the Federation in the immediate pre-TNG days, as DS9 backstory states.

They figured the Beta Quadrant Exploration Division was expendable and dismissed Admiral Dyson and shut the BQED down.
Although the exploration and scientific were not allowed to continue in the Beta Quadrant, patrol vessels were still allowed to continue and the council funded them to maintain the current borders with the Allarians and other Beta Quadrant races.
By the time the Federation returned to exploring the Beta Quadrant the Allarian Totalitarian regime was in full swing and reconquering their holdings in the Quadrant.

A new power, the Dominions, appeared in the Gamma Quadrant, and joined the "axis" along with the Cardassians and the Tholians, threatening both the Vulcans and the Federations.
On August 5, the stronghold of the Dominions in the Gamma Quadrant was totally destroyed by the Federation's new super weapon, and the war ended a few days later.
Rather that risk all-out Galactic Space War, the Superpowers often fought proxy wars, such as between the Telepaths in Alpha Quadrant or the Changelings specie in Gamma Quadrant, or in the civil wars among the Betazoidss in Betazed and the Tamarians in Delta Quadrant.

 Christopher L. Bennett - Re: New Star Trek Series
Well, Earth is on the border between quadrants -- just as London is on the border between hemispheres, because that border is defined by a line passing through the Greenwich Observatory.
And since a greater percentage of that complex of linked civilizations is in Alpha than Beta, I therefore find it credible that "Alpha Quadrant" would be used as a shorthand for the whole thing.
Perhaps the Beta Quadrant, like Asia in the minds of 19th-century Westerners and many near-Easterners, is considered a relative backwater or wilderness compared to Alpha, so that powers who want to be taken seriously present themselves as Alpha Quadrant powers.
