About Hastings

Edwin Perkins turned his liquid Fruit Smack into a powder in 1927 and called it Kool-Aid, working out of Hastings; it is now Nebraska's official soft drink. After a fire burned 33 downtown buildings in 1879, the city rebuilt in fireproof brick, and by 1911 Hastings made more brick than any other Nebraska city.
