Blairstown is an unincorporated community in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, United States. The community is located less than 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) north of Pride and 8 miles (13 kilometres) southeast of Clinton.
It is speculated that the community is named after John Insley Blair. In the fall of 1866 a Presbyterian missionary named Rev. John Arndt Reiley migrated to the community from Blairstown, New Jersey. [2]
