Information about
Hastings in New Zealand
Hastings and Napier,
although separate for much of their history - were socially one from the
beginning. An urbanised, industrial age society grew in both towns and
the country from the earliest settler days.
People looked to the
city Hastings for services and facilities regardless of where they
lived; and people in both town and country relied on employment or
enterprise to earn money for there living.
First
Settlement
The first settlement in
Hastings took place in 1864, when Thomas Tanner leased about 7000ha of
the Heretaunga Plains from Maori owners.
Some years later a
syndicate purchase the area and the Heretaunga Block - was secured by 12
people who are often referred to as the "12 Apostles".
The purchase price was
around thirty shillings an acre.
In 1873 Francis Hicks
(one of the syndicate) presented the Government with a section of land
for the site of a railway station and decided to lay out one hundred
acres near this site for a town to be called Hastings. One hundred and
forty sections were offered, the average price per acre being fifty
pounds.
At that time much of
the area was still swamp. The orginal settlers of the Heretaunga Plains
decided that Havelock North was to be the future city and it was only
with the advent of the railway that Hastings was chosen as the town
site.
Years later the swamps
were drained, population increased, and business prospered. Fruit
growing became an important industry. By 1884 the town had a population
of 614 and was constituted a town district.
Hastings became a
borough on 20th October 1886 and was the largest borough in New Zealand
until 1908.
Hastings became a city
on 8th September 1956, and a district in 1989.
How did
Hastings get its Name?
Hastings was named
after English person called Warren Hastings, India's first
Governor-General.
