Hastings is a city in both Dakota and Washington counties. It is also on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin and at the confluence of the Mississippi and St Croix Rivers. In 1895, a spiral bridge, designed to slow down horse drawn traffic as it entered town, was built across the Mississippi River. It became a tourist attraction but was torn down in 1951 because it was not suitable for motor vehicles. The varied landscape limited the city's growth and farming potential but has provided opportunities for skiing and wildlife conservation. Vineyards, apples and strawberries do well in the area.
