Blachly is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States, on Oregon Route 36 in the Coast Range. Blachly lies along Lake Creek, about 3 miles (5 km) from Triangle Lake.[1]
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]
Blachly is served by the K–12 Triangle Lake School, the only school in Blachly School District.
