History
During World War II, 16 German POWs, who were working on a sugar beet farm near Blissfield, were killed in an accident when their truck collided with a train as they were returning to Fort Custer. They are now buried at Fort Custer National Cemetery.
According to local legend, Blissfield was home to the first set of Triple Bridges in the world. These three bridges stood directly next to each other and crossed the River Raisin to accommodate train and vehicular travel. The interurban bridge was torn down and the road bridge was replaced with a larger bridge in place of both bridges.
In September–October 2014 Blissfield's village hall was moved to a former KeyBank location in the business district of the village. It is now two doors down from the Township offices. The police department was also moved with it.
Blissfield High School is the home of the Royals. The baseball team has won seven state titles, while the girls volleyball team won their first state title in 2005.
The village contains three properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Blissfield Downtown Historic District, the David Carpenter House, and the First Presbyterian Church of Blissfield.
