Kinderdijk and the dike roads always attract people, but the "interior" of Alblasserwaard are also very beautiful in many places.

The village got its name from a former landowner, Willem van Blassekijn, a nobleman from the Alblasserwaard. Over the years the name has slowly changed from Grauelant to Blaskens Graveland and Blassekinsgraeve, among others, to Bleskensgraaf. It is a former lordship that was originally part of the lordship of De Lek. In 1706 Gerard van Brandwijk acquired ownership of the lordship. Since the beginning of the 19th century the lordship title has been in the hands of the van der Elst family (of Bleskensgraaf), who to this day have the right to fish in the Graafstroom.
