A post office was established in Blakeslee in 1884 and named after Jacob Blakeslee, the first postmaster.[3] The post office was located near Burger Road near his 300-acre homestead. Jacob Blakeslee would later serve as justice of the peace for the small community. The Blakeslee United Methodist Church was established in 1897.[4] The Blakeslee Diner used to be a restaurant in Blakeslee, but it burned down a few years ago.
