Blackhawk

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

Blackhawk, in northeast Fort Wayne, is documented only in part. No National Register nomination, state survey district, ARCH history, or association history for it was found, and its developer, plat date, and name origin are not stated here rather than guessed — Texas and California places of the same name in the search results are not this neighborhood, and nothing from them is used. What the record does show: the legal subdivision name Blackhawk Forest Addition, Sections A and B, in St. Joseph Township, off Lahmeyer Road south of Trier Road, where Allen County assessor records show houses on Blackhawk Lane built in 1963, 1964, 1965, and 1967 — an early-1960s first phase at minimum, which sits awkwardly beside a modern real-estate guide's generalization that the neighborhood's split-level, ranch, and Colonial Revival homes were mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s. The neighborhood's schools are Glenwood Park Elementary, Blackhawk Middle School, and Snider High School. In June 2026 the City joined Blackhawk with Georgetown in the Georgetown Blackhawk 2040 Neighborhood Plan, and a Blackhawk Homeowners Association appears on the City's neighborhood map. Blackhawk is listed in the note at the end of this section among the neighborhoods documented only in part.
