Hastings is a town and agricultural center in St. Johns County. The population was 521 at the 2000 census. Henry Morrison Flagler built tourist hotels at St. Augustine in the late 1800s, but he needed a local source of fresh vegetables for his guests, so he persuaded Thomas Horace Hastings, his cousin, to develop a farm. A small community evolved into a town, which was named for its founder in 1890.
Hastings is known as the "Potato Capital of Florida" with 21,000 acres of potato farms, but also produces cabbage, onions, eggplant and ornamental horticulture.
