History

The town was founded in the late 19th century, with the name Hoboken. Steel was the community’s major industry, with the area being home to the Blaw Steel Co. and the Knox Welded and Pressed Steel Co. When the Blaw Steel Co. acquired the Knox Welded and Pressed Steel Co. in 1917, the company became known as the Blaw-Knox Steel Construction Co., and the size of Hoboken was expanded to the whole area spanned by the Blaw-Knox mill.

Blawnox was incorporated on April 13, 1925, from O’Hara Township.
