OVERVIEW
The City
of Hastings was incorporated on March 7, 1857, by the
Territorial Legislature. Hastings became the
county seat of Dakota County on June 2, 1857.
Hastings is blessed with a beautiful setting on the
bluffs of the Mississippi River. Victorian
residences in tree-lined neighborhoods, a classic Main
Street downtown, and the 1871 County Courthouse maintain
Hastings' distinctive small town character. At the
same time, Hastings continues to grow with steady
residential, commercial industrial development activity
coupled with an expanding mix of public and
institutional land uses.
