History
11
This community was named for Blenheim Palace in England, home of the Duke of Marlborough, for whom Marlboro County is said to have been named. Formerly called Mineral Spring or Spring Hill for the mineral springs 1/2 mile east, Blenheim traces its origin to wealthy planters who built summer homes in this healthy locality during the ante-bellum period.
