History:
BOCK, a city in section 15 of Borgholm Township, was
named by officers of the Great Northern Railway company. It was
incorporated as a village on January 30, 1923; its Great Northern
Railway siding was first called Tosca by the railroad and renamed for
the first businessmen, the Bock brothers of New Ulm, who built a
sawmill, which they sold in 1890 to Charles W. Burnhelm, for whom the
Burnhelm Siding nearby was named. The post office operated 1892-1910 and
since 1915; Burnhelm was the first postmaster.
