Haslet, Texas is on Farm Road 156, 16 miles northwest of Fort Worth in extreme north central Tarrant County.

The area was settled around 1880, but it is likely that no distinct community was formed until 1883 when the tracks of the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe Railway were extended through the area. The first Post Office was opened there in 1887 and the community was named for the Michigan hometown of the railroad’s contractor. In 1896 the community had a school with twenty-one students and one teacher. Ten years later, the Haslet school had twenty-five students. During the 1920’s Haslet had three grocery stores as well as a hardware store, dry goods store, and a cotton gin. The availability of war-related employment in Fort Worth probably contributed to the growth of Haslet’s population by the late 1940’s.

By the 1990’s Haslet had become a commuter community for Fort Worth with approximately 795 residents and some twelve businesses. Today, Haslet is a thriving city that continues to grow.
