An extension of the Manistee and North-Eastern Railroad northeast of Nessen City was completed in 1890.[3] A station was opened 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Interlochen known as Horicon, with a post office opening in 1897. Edward Wilson was the first postmaster at Horicon. The name of the community was changed in 1903 to Karlin, after Karlín, Austria-Hungary, from whence a number of local settlers originated.[4] The railroad line running through Karlin was removed in 1934.[5]
