The America Ground is an area in Hastings town centre, historically notable for its origins as a settlement for itinerant workers and settlers in the 1850s. The land, deemed unclaimed at the time, fostered a small township with more than 200 properties, allowing inhabitants to consider themselves independent from the nearby town.

The area has inspired a musical titled "America Ground," created by local musician Bob Tipler and playwright John Knowles, highlighting the historical context of rent and housing inequalities that resonate today. The production features a blend of original songs and performances that reflect the spirit of independence, making it a unique cultural offering for the community.
