Blanks is the name of an unincorporated community located in southwestern Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States.
The community is said to have been named after Handsell B. Blanks. Blanks was part owner of the Bomer-Blanks Lumber Company that once operated in the area. A post office was established in the community in 1913, but has since been shut down and merged with the post office in the neighboring town of Lottie.[1]
