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.
