Three names for one village

Harrietta was platted in 1889 on the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railway and incorporated in 1891 as Gaston. Railroad officials renamed it Harriette in 1892, and the current spelling dates to 1925. The village covers about one square mile, all of it land.

Harrietta's hatchery has run since 1901, longer than any other state hatchery in Michigan.

Hatchery water and national forest

The Harrietta State Fish Hatchery at 6801 West 30 Road opened in 1901 and is the oldest one still operating in Michigan. It raises rainbow trout, brown trout and Atlantic salmon. The DNR points anglers to the Pine, Manistee and Pere Marquette rivers nearby.

Boon sits in the Manistee National Forest in the east part of Boon Township, and M-115 crosses the township's northeast corner. Like Harrietta, Boon is mostly small homes on wooded parcels, many of them close to federal forest land.

Common questions

Is Harrietta in Boon Township or Slagle Township?

Both. Wikipedia places most of the village in the northwest part of Boon Township, with a small part extending into Slagle Township. Boon Township had 650 residents in 2020 and Slagle Township had 509. Tax bills and zoning follow the township where the parcel sits, so the legal description matters for a home near the village line.

Where is Boon and how big is it?

Boon is an unincorporated community and census designated place in the east part of Boon Township. It had 90 residents in 2020 on 0.84 square miles. It began as a station on the Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan Railroad in 1888, was platted in 1889 and got a post office in 1899.
