The borough was reincorporated on April 11, 1890, and again on May 4, 1897. From 1881 to 1931, the Hastings Goldbeating Company was located in the Borough employing women to pound one-inch strips of gold into gossamer-thin sheets used for decorative arts.

It was this business along with real estate speculation and subdivision of the land that led to the Borough's incorporation in 1884.
