Bloch Corner was named for Joseph Bloch, who was born about 1833 and died in 1900, emigrated from France, and operated a successful mercantile store on this corner from the late 1850s until the later part of that century. The building that housed the store was known as the Miramond Memorial Building and was one of the most elaborate buildings in the state at that time. In 1878, the town named a street in Bloch's honor.
