History

Early history

Blovstrød is first mentioned in 1265 as Blaustruth. The first part of the name may be derived from the male name Blawæsti' (Sorte-Væsti) while the suffix -rød means "clearing".[2] The area was from the early Middle Ages crown land and in 1700 Blovstrød was one of the parishes that were placed under Hirschholm Palace which was given to Louise of Mecklenburg-Güstrow as her personal property by king Frederick IV. The village was the site of a roadside inn.

19th century

Blovstrød Brickyard was established in 1860 and grew to become one of the largest brickyards in Northern Europe.[3] It had an extensive network of industrial railway tracks to several clay pits in the area.

20th century

The old school was demolished and a new one was built in 1938. Blovstrød began to grow with new areas of

single family detached homes in the 1950s. The western part of the parish, with the town of Blovstrød, became part of Allerød Municipality in the 1970 Danish Municipal Reform while the eastern part of the municipality became part of Hørsholm Municipality
