Hasselt is a town about 7 km north of Zwolle, in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It received city rights in 1252. It became a member of the Hanseatic League around 1350. The city suffered an economic downfall from about 1550 on, as other cities proved to be better situated and equipped for trade and commerce.

Hasselt was a separate municipality until 2001, when it became a part of Zwartewaterland.[1]
