Originally the district was known as Sandy Creek, but later it was named Blenheim after Blenheim Park in Oxfordshire, England, which was in turn named after the Battle of Blenheim.[3]
Blenheim State School opened on 7 April 1879, with an initial enrolment of 73 pupils.[4][5][6]
In 1895, a German Baptist church was established at Blenheim under the leadership of C. Muetzelburg. As time passed, the desire for German-language church services diminished and, due to falling numbers attending, the church was closed and physically relocated to Laidley.[7]
Blenheim Lutheran Church opened on Sunday 31 March 1912.[8] In 1938, it was relocated to Laidley to be used as a church hall for the Laidley Lutheran Church.[9]
