Blacksville is an unincorporated community in Henry County, Georgia, United States. At the 2000 census it was recorded as a census-designated place (CDP), with a population of four. It was no longer a CDP at the 2010 census.
Blacksville is named after the Black family of McDonough, Georgia. Their family were one of the early pioneers to move to the village of McDonough where Blacksville is now located.[3] The segregation-era black high school for Henry County was in Blacksville and is now used as Henry County Middle School. Most of the community was subsequently annexed by nearby McDonough.
