Blackburn is a town in Lancashire in the United Kingdom.

Blackburn is one of five "cathedral towns" in England; all other English localities with Anglican cathedrals have city status.

Blackburn Hundred

Blackburn Hundred, sometimes called Blackburnshire, is a sub-division of the traditional county Lancashire. Although never formally abolished, the hundred has had no official administrative role since the mid-18th century and today is used mainly as a geographical area. It covers a much wider area than the town itself (175,598 acres) with the towns Accrington, Bacup and Burnley also forming part of the hundred.
