The original Lansing City Market opened in 1909 at an adjacent site north of the current city market.[4] The building was demolished in April 2010 to allow room for a new mixed-use development.[5]

An episode of Food Network's Food Court Wars was taped at the City Market on March 19, 2014.[6]

Lansing City Market closed in October 2019.
