Blackwatertown is a small ward and village on the banks of the River Blackwater, within the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon district of Northern Ireland. Its riverside setting gives the area a distinctly rural character, with hedgerow farmland and waterside habitats that attract local anglers and birdwatchers, and a history shaped around the river as a crossing point and focal feature of the settlement.
Today the community is largely residential and agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work while keeping a strong local identity; village life centres on community activities, local clubs and occasional events rather than major industry. The ward retains echoes of older transport and milling economies along the river and is valued for its quiet countryside feel and easy access to regional centres in the district.
