On February 23, 1886, the town was incorporated with the name of Blackstone, in honor of the influential English jurist William Blackstone. The Blackstone Historic District, Butterwood Methodist Church and Butterwood Cemetery, Little Mountain Pictograph Site, Oakridge, and Schwartz Tavern are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This town, under its former name, was a stop on the Southside Railroad in the mid-nineteenth Century.
