Haslett is named after James and Sarah Haslett, a couple who founded the Nemoka Spiritualist Camp on the shore of Pine Lake (Original name for Lake Lansing).  By the later 1800s, thousands of spiritualists descended on Haslett Park for summer meetings, readings, lectures, and seances.  Mr. Haslett had hoped to establish his camp as the National Headquarters for the [[Spiritualism (movement)|spiritualist movement]].  His untimely death in 1891 and the decline of the spiritualist movement caused his widow to sell the land to the Haslett Park Association in 1898.  The new owners transformed the land into a summer recreational destination, and eventually, a figure-8 wooden roller coaster and other carnival rides were added, thus establishing what became known as Lake Lansing Amusement Park. With the railroad established, the Lansing Trolley line added rails so that people could travel from the state capital, Lansing, to the new recreation center.  Holding to this tradition, Haslett is host to Lake Lansing Parks North and South as well as a portion of the Inter-Urban Pathway and numerous other small parks and recreation facilities.

The city of [[Haslet, Texas]], is named after Haslett, Michigan (note that the Texas community is spelled with one 't'). The Texas town of Haslet received its name from a railroad worker who relocated to Texas from Michigan in the late 1800s.
