Hastings

Few cities in Minnesota have a history as closely tied to the Mississippi River as Hastings. Established as a nineteenth-century river town, it retains a compact downtown with historic commercial buildings near the water. The Vermillion River joins the Mississippi just south of the city centre, and the broad river corridor shapes Hastings’ setting between the Twin Cities and southeastern Minnesota. The Hastings Bridge carries U.S. Highways 10 and 61 across the Mississippi, while Lock and Dam No. 2 forms part of the Upper Mississippi navigation system.
