The town was incorporated as Hastings in 1853 and became an important shipping port for lumber products during the late 19th century. The lumber industry declined after World War II but has since rebounded due to increased demand for wood products from new construction projects throughout North America. Today, Hastings is home to several businesses including a paper mill, two shipyards, two banks and numerous restaurants and retail establishments.
