In the early 1900's the rolling foothill of Mt. Diablo became known as Blackhawk Ranch, where prized thoroughbreds were bred for decades. Luxury homes and estates were constrcted starting in 1979, home to many local and national celebrities.
Blackhawk is divided into six individual gated communities scattered along Blackhawk Rd, connected by a 3-mile long jogging trail.
- Hidden Oaks consists of 206 homes and in 1978 was the first Blackhawk community to be completed. Most homes are half an acre.
- Oakridge, consists of medium sized homes ranging from 2000 to 3,000 square feet (280 m2), though a few large estates reside on the top of a private court.
- Saddleback, the second community completed, is home to some of the most lavish homes in the entire Blackhawk development, most lots being no less than 5 acres (20,000 m2) in size.
- Silveroak, is an upscale condo complex.
- Silvermaple, is designed around one of the main Blackhawk Country Clubs's golf holes, though no roads connect it to the rest of the main Blackhawk Country Club. It consists of medium sized homes.
- Blackhawk Country Club ("Main Gates") is the largest of the six communities.
Nearby Blackhawk Plaza is home to numerous upscale shops, retaurants, a movie theater, and a health club, as well as the Blackhawk Automotive Museum.
