Blairstown is a township in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 5,704,[8][9] a decrease of 263 (−4.4%) from the 2010 census count of 5,967,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 220 (+3.8%) from the 5,747 counted in the 2000 census.[20]
The area had been known as Smith's Mill and was later called Butts Bridge (variously spelled as "Butt's Bridge" and "Butts' Bridge"), named for a family that owned the eponymous crossing of the Paulins Kill.[21]
Blairstown was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 14, 1845, from portions of Knowlton Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day.[22] The township was named for John Insley Blair.[23][24]
