Blacks Point is a locality near Reefton on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
Blacks Point is located south-west of Reefton on State Highway 7 adjacent to the Inangahua River.[1] The settlement is one of many that were founded in the early 1870s, at a time when over 80 mines were being sunk into the gold-bearing quartz reefs in the Reefton area. Most of the settlers who formed the township of Blacks Point in 1873 were miners from Cornwall.[2]
One attraction is the Blacks Point Museum, a former Wesleyan Methodist Church from 1876 converted to a museum that displays the history of a typical mining town.[3]
