Шаблон:Infobox settlement Blokland is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Montfoort, and lies about 1 km southeast of that city, and 6 km west of IJsselstein.[1] Blokland has a population of around 160.[2]

Blokland was a heerlijkheid (manor), covering the entire polder "Blokland", which is the area south of the Bloklandse Dijk.[3]

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.[4]

The hamlet was first mentioned in 1261 as Blokelant, and means enclosed land.[5] The postal authorities have placed it under Montfoort.[6] Blokland has no place name signs. In 1840, it was home to 142 people.[4]
