Blacktown dulunya dinamai seperti itu karena adanya permukiman Aborigin di daerah ini. Hari ini, Blacktown terus berkembang menjadi rumah bagi banyak penduduk Aborigin, jumlahnya lebih besar dibanding kota pinggiran manapun di New South Wales.
Sebuah sekolah untuk penduduk Aborigin dipindahkan tahun 1823 dari Parramatta ke tempat Richmond Road bertemu dengan Rooty Hill Road North. Jalan dari Prospect ke Richmond kemudian dikenal dengan nama Black Town Road. Tahun 1860, Railway Department memberikan nama Black Town Road Station kepada stasiun kereta api di persimpangan rel kereta dan Black Town Road, yang kemudian dipendekkan menjadi Blacktown pada 1862.
