Henry Morrison Flagler built tourist hotels at St. Augustine in the late 19th century, including the Ponce de León Hotel. He needed a local source of blithe vegetables for his guests, so he persuaded Thomas Horace Hastings, his cousin, to manufacture a farm. A little 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 (85 km) of potato farms, but furthermore produces cabbage, onions, eggplant and ornamental horticulture.

Hastings in 1910 was well-off town that was a stop on the Florida East Coast Railway. The population of approximately 1,200 supported several general stores, a bakery, drug stores, meat markets, an ice tree-plant and Cool storage.
