Blokland was a heerlijkheid (manor), covering the entire polder "Blokland", which is the area south of the Bloklandse Dijk.[4]
When the current municipal system was introduced in the Netherlands in 1812, Blokland became part of the municipality Montfoort for a short while. It was part of the municipality of Willeskop between 1818 and 1989, when that municipality was merged with Montfoort.[5]
The hamlet was first mentioned in 1261 as Blokelant, and means enclosed land.[6] The postal authorities have placed it under Montfoort.[7] Blokland has no place name signs. In 1840, it was home to 142 people.[5]
