Blackstone History

The area around Blackstone was originally settled by the Nipmuc Nation, but in 1662 pioneers established a small community nearby. Almost 200 years later — in 1845 — the town was incorporated. Today, Blackstone is largely residential, with just under 10,000 citizens as of the last nationwide census.

What Blackstone is Known for…

Blackstone was originally the south parish of Mendon, MA and contained most of the town’s manufacturing interests. Until 1915, the town also contained what is present-day Millville, MA. Its history has been largely uneventful, save for the abrupt departure of its first minister, the Reverend Benjamin Balch, who was ordained 1768 but on March 27, 1772 disappeared before dawn, never to return.
