The provincial electoral district was created in 1999 when provincial ridings were defined to have the same borders as federal ridings. It initially consisted of the County of Prince Edward, and the part of the County of Hastings lying south of and including the townships of Hungerford, Huntingdon and Rawdon, south of but excluding the Village of Stirling, and excluding the City of Trenton.
Hastings/ˈheɪstɪŋz/ is a historic town and borough in the county of East Sussex, within the historic county of Sussex, on the south coast of England. The town is located 24mi (39km) east of the county town of Lewes and 53mi (85km) south east of London, and has an estimated population of 90,254, which makes it the 66th largest settlement in the United Kingdom.
Historically, Hastings can claim fame through its connection with the Norman conquest of England and because it became one of the medieval Cinque Ports. Hastings was, for centuries, an important fishing port; although nowadays less important, it still has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in Europe.The town became a popular spot for 'taking the waters' (therapeutic bathing in the sea) in the 1760s, and then, with the coming of the railway, a seaside resort.
History
Early history
The first mention of Hastings is found in the late 8th century in the form Hastingas. This is derived from the Old English tribal name Hæstingas, meaning `the constituency/followers of Hæsta'. Symeon of Durham records the victory of Offa in 771 over the Hestingorum gens, that is, "the people of the Hastings tribe.", Hastingleigh in Kent was named after that tribe. The place name Hæstingaceaster is found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for 1050, and may be an alternative name for Hastings. However, the absence of any archaeological remains of or documentary evidence for a Roman fort at Hastings suggest that Hæstingaceaster may refer to a different settlement, most likely that based on the Roman remains at Pevensey.
1950-1955: The County Borough of Hastings, the Municipal Borough of Rye, and in the Rural District of Battle the civil parishes of Ashburnham, Battle, Beckley, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Broomhill, Catsfield, Crowhurst, Dallington, East Guldeford, Ewhurst, Fairlight, Guestling, Icklesham, Iden, Mountfield, Northiam, Ore, Peasmarsh, Penhurst, Pett, Playden, Rye Foreign, Salehurst, Sedlescombe, St Thomas the Apostle Winchelsea, Udimore, Westfield, and Whatlington.
Hastings was the Indiaman Northington, that Simon Fraser purchased in 1780 when the EIC was done with it, and renamed. She was of 676 or 69356⁄94 tons (bm), 99 men, and 26 guns, when as Hastings she made one voyage for the EIC to St Helena and China between 1781 and 1783; she was present at the Battle of Porto Praya. In 1783 she was sold for breaking up.
Hastings was a brig of 170 tons (bm) that the Bombay Dockyard launched in 1787 for the Bengal Pilot Service. In 1818 or 1820 the EIC sold her to local buyers. A fire in April 1823 destroyed her at Pulau Pasang, off Padang.
The frigate Hastings, of 566 tons (bm) was launched on 2 May 1821 by the Bombay Dockyard, but not commissioned until the eve of the first Anglo-Burmese war, in which she served. She was pierced for 32 guns but mounted 24. By 1838 she was at Bombay, serving as a receiving ship.
