History

Located on the south side of the Arkansas River at a natural ford, the community of Blackburn developed after the opening of the Cherokee Outlet on September 16, 1893. It was named for Kentucky Senator Joseph C. S. Blackburn. A post office was established December 15, 1893. Because it was located in Oklahoma Territory, Blackburn was a “whiskey town” that bordered Indian Territory until statehood in 1907. The town was incorporated April 21, 1909.

While historically Blackburn’s economy was based on agriculture, in the twenty-first century, the town serves primarily as a bedroom community for commuters to Pawnee and other job centers.
