==History== ===Early history=== Blovstrød is first mentioned in 1265 as Blaustruth. The first part of the name may be derived from the male name Blawæsti' (Sorte-Væsti) while the suffix -rød means "clearing". The area was from the early Middle Ages crown land and in 1700 Blovstrød was one of the parishes that were placed under Hirschholm Palace which was given to Louise of Mecklenburg-Güstrow as her personal property by king Frederick IV. The village was the site of a roadside inn.
