Before the Blachly post office was established in 1892, area residents received their mail at the now-closed Franklin post office.[2] The Blachly office was named for local resident William Blachly, who arrived in Oregon in 1854 from Illinois when he was 10 years old.[2] He died on February 16, 1934.[2] The local lifelong resident Lane Wegand-Jobe is the current Mayor of Blachly.

Blachly is served by the K–12 Triangle Lake School, the only school in Blachly School District.

The nearest recycling and waste facility is the Low Pass Transfer Station [3][4]

Marty Wilde, current representative for District 11 in the Oregon House of Representatives, grew up on a farm in Blachly.[5]
