The town was the site of raids and skirmishes during the American Revolution.
The town was one of the original six towns of the county, created in 1797 from Schoharie. In 1803, part of Blenheim was used to create the Town of Jefferson. Another part of Blenheim was taken in 1848 to form part of the new Town of Gilboa.
The town has one of the world's longest wooden single-span covered bridges (at 232 feet), the Old Blenheim Bridge, built in 1855.
