Hastings, Florida, was founded by Thomas Horace Hastings to develop a farm. This small community evolved into a town named Hastings in 1890. Known as the "Potato Capital of Florida," Hastings has 21,000 acres of potato farms and also produces cabbage, onions, eggplant, and ornamental horticulture.
On November 7, 2017, Hastings voters elected to dissolve the city, and St. Johns County took control on March 1, 2018. The United States Census Bureau designated Hastings as a census-designated place in the 2020 census.
In this vlog, I will be giving you the history of Hastings and explaining why most of the white people left this town. I will also be collaborating with Drena and Mike's Paranormal Adventures as we explore this town. Make sure you subscribe to their channel!

I watched your Untold Story Belleville Vlog and found it incredibly heart touching. So when I saw this one, I had to watch it too. The history you share is amazing. Please keep posting these kinds of videos. Our kids need to see and hear the real, unedited history, not just the versions in textbooks, movies, and online. Thanks again, Tim. I also subscribed to Drena and Mike's channel. 🙂

Never heard of Hastings Fl until in the 70"s when I met and ran with some friends from there. Told me this is potatoes 🥔 country. My friend Al and Pete. Al told me his dad escaped from south Florida work camps and ended up in Hastings

I learned about it last week and was intrigued, so I had to come explore it myself. The people I met were nice, polite, and very welcoming. Thanks for watching!

Great video Tim. I met Tim through business, and right from our first meeting, I could tell he was incredibly smart in his field. He never mentioned his RU-vid channel until one day I walked into his office and saw him on TV. I chuckled and said, "Hey, you're famous!" I went home and watched some of his videos and got hooked. He puts out great content, and I'm glad to know him and do business with him.

WOW, those guys with you were ghost hunting! 😱 I loved everything about this vlog-the history, the spooky parts, the old houses, and the abandoned hotel at the end. LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS 9 дней назад

Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed the vlog and all its spooky elements. The ghost hunting was definitely a highlight, and those old houses and the abandoned hotel added so much character to the experience. Stay tuned for more adventures! 👻🏚️✨

Hastings doesn’t offer much in investment opportunity. Up there in NE FL, you should look at Palatka, Cresent Beach and Flagler Beach for investment. Those places are just being discovered and are about to explode (especially Palatka with all the major businesses moving there and the St. Augustine people). Don’t miss out or you will remember this comment!

@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS 9 дней назад

Thanks for sharing that info. Much Appreciated. I did a vlog in all those places besides Flagler beach. Heres the video's. Check them out.

That's cool to know that the Potato Capital is here in Florida. I had never heard of this town before. The crazy part is that many white people left because they didn't want their kids attending school with black kids. Thanks for sharing this history.

@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS 9 дней назад

It's fascinating, right? Hastings has a unique history as the Potato Capital of Florida. Sadly, like many towns, it faced challenges with school integration in the past. It's important to reflect on these histories to understand how communities evolve over time. Thanks for watching and learning about Hastings!
