Blaketown is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

As Blaketown is on the Route 80 (Trinity Road),[2][3] a few service businesses emerged, including a small grocery store and a gas station.

In more recent years, several other businesses have begun operation, including a hardware retailer, an auto repair shop, a woodworking enterprise, an auto parts outlet and a Regional High School.

[4][5] Blaketown was named after Sir Henry Arthur Blake, Governor of Newfoundland (1887–1889), was settled in 1888 as an agricultural district.

In 1955 the Government of Newfoundland attempted to centralize the mink fur farming industry in the province in Blaketown.
