Heretaunga Street (Māori pronunciation: [hɛɾɛˈtɑːʉŋa]) is the main arterial road through Hastings, New Zealand. The street forms the heart of the Central Business District of Hastings City across six blocks numbered 100, 200, and 300 Blocks with the railway line dividing the blocks by East and West. The name Heretaunga is taken from the name of the Māori Land Block on which Hastings was established in 1873. The majority of buildings along Heretaunga Street were destroyed or damaged in the deadly 1931 Hawke's Bay Earthquake. As a result the six City Centre blocks were rebuilt predominantly between the years 1931-1936 in the architectural styles of Stripped Classicism, Art Deco, and Spanish Mission Revival and now comprise a full historic streetscape in one of the longest contiguous retail high streets in New Zealand.

Hastings (; Māori: Heretaunga) is an inland city of New Zealand and is one of the two major urban areas in Hawke's Bay, on the east coast of the North Island. The population of Hastings (including Flaxmere) is 51,500 (as of June 2023), with a further 15,200 people in Havelock North and 2,090 in Clive. Hastings is about 18 kilometres inland of the coastal city of Napier. These two neighbouring cities are often called "The Bay Cities" or "The Twin Cities". The city is the administrative centre of the Hastings District. Since the merger of the surrounding and satellite settlements, Hastings has grown to become one of the largest urban areas in Hawke's Bay. Hastings District is a food production region. The fertile Heretaunga Plains surrounding the city produce stone fruits, pome fruit, kiwifruit and vegetables, and the area is one of New Zealand's major red wine producers.

The Hastings railway station in Hastings, New Zealand is the main railway station in Hastings and an intermediate stop on the Palmerston North–Gisborne Line. The station is on the corner of Russell Street (which ran alongside the line) and St Aubyn Street, and is close to the centre of Hastings. It is no longer used by any regularly-scheduled passenger services. On 12 October 1874 the original station and the first section of the line south from Napier to Hastings was opened with special trains, a picnic and a band. On the day of the opening a gale blew the roof off the station house. The 4th class station was taken over from the international contractor, Brogdens, on 18 January 1875. The line gradually extended beyond Hastings, with completion on 9 March 1891 when it was opened through the Manawatū Gorge to Palmerston North and, hence, to Wellington. From 1874 to 2001 numerous passenger trains serviced the station. These included local "mixed" trains that carried both passengers and goods between communities in the southern Hawke's Bay, and express trains from Wellington such as the Endeavour. The Bay Express was the last regularly scheduled service to use the station. The annual returns show that the station was busy. For example, in 1924 Hastings sold 154.970 tickets and exported 35,380 sheep and pigs.Passenger services ceased on 7 October 2001. The station building had stood empty since then, but is still visited by occasional heritage train excursions.In the early hours of 21 September 2019 the building was set alight and burned to the ground. The remains were contaminated with asbestos and demolished.The station was enlarged in the 1880s, so that by 1896 there was a 2nd class station, platform, cart approach, 100 ft (30 m) x 30 ft (9.1 m) goods shed, loading bank, cattle yards, engine shed, stationmaster's house, urinals and a passing loop for 44 wagons. A new station building and goods shed opened in 1962, the old 142 ft (43 m) x 32 ft (9.8 m) goods shed being removed in 1965.Hastings Racecourse, 1 mi 47 ch (2.6 km) to the south, opened as a siding in 1882 and a platform was added in 1900.
