The community is located at the eastern end of the Canso Causeway on Cape Breton Island. It is named after Charles Hastings Doyle.[1] HistoryThe community was previously known as Plaster Cove. The Inverness and Richmond Railway was built from coal mines in Inverness to a loading dock at Point Tupper in 1901.[2] The construction of the Canso Causeway which opened in 1955 saw the community become a railway junction after the Truro-Sydney mainline of Canadian National Railways (CNR) was diverted from the railcar ferry terminals at Mulgrave and Point Tupper. The CNR line to Inverness was eventually abandoned in the 1980s, although the Truro-Sydney mainline continues to operate under the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway. The construction of the Canso Causeway also brought what would become the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 104 and Highway 105) through the community. A traffic circle named the Port Hastings Rotary creates an important interchange between Highway 104, Highway 105, Trunk 19 and Trunk 4 several hundred metres east of the Canso Canal Bridge. The growth of automobile-focused tourism following World War II saw several motels and gas stations and a tourist information centre located at the traffic circle. The community is home to the Port Hastings Museum], which documents local history, including that of the Canso Causeway. ClimateSimilar to most of Nova Scotia, Port Hastings has a humid continental climate with some maritime influences, including high snowfall in winter and relatively narrow temperature fluctuations by Canadian standards. {{Weather box|location = Port Hastings |metric first = yes |single line = yes |Jan record high C = 18.3 |Feb record high C = 16.7 |Mar record high C = 17.8 |Apr record high C = 26.7 |May record high C = 31.7 |Jun record high C = 36.1 |Jul record high C = 37.2 |Aug record high C = 32.8 |Sep record high C = 31 |Oct record high C = 29.4 |Nov record high C = 30 |Dec record high C = 20.6 |Jan high C = -0.9 |Feb high C = -1.6 |Mar high C = 2.1 |Apr high C = 7 |May high C = 13.4 |Jun high C = 18.7 |Jul high C = 23 |Aug high C = 23 |Sep high C = 18.8 |Oct high C = 13.1 |Nov high C = 7.3 |Dec high C = 2.2 |year high C = 10.5 |Jan low C = -9 |Feb low C = -9.6 |Mar low C = -5.8 |Apr low C = -0.7 |May low C = 4 |Jun low C = 9 |Jul low C = 13.4 |Aug low C = 13.9 |Sep low C = 10.1 |Oct low C = 5.2 |Nov low C = 0.8 |Dec low C = -5 |year low C = 2.2 |Jan record low C = -26.7 |Feb record low C = -26.1 |Mar record low C = -26.7 |Apr record low C = -13.3 |May record low C = -6.7 |Jun record low C = -2.2 |Jul record low C = -0.6 |Aug record low C = 1.9 |Sep record low C = -5.6 |Oct record low C = -7.2 |Nov record low C = -12.2 |Dec record low C = -22.8 |Jan precipitation mm = 147.4 |Feb precipitation mm = 107.2 |Mar precipitation mm = 132.3 |Apr precipitation mm = 142.1 |May precipitation mm = 106.4 |Jun precipitation mm = 114.2 |Jul precipitation mm = 90.8 |Aug precipitation mm = 111.7 |Sep precipitation mm = 113.6 |Oct precipitation mm = 143.4 |Nov precipitation mm = 163.3 |Dec precipitation mm = 166.2 |year precipitation mm = 1538.5 |source 1 = Environment Canada[4] |date=August 2010 }} References1. ^[https://archive.org/stream/placenamesofprov00browuoft#page/116/mode/2up xxx] 2. ^Welcome to Inverness, Nova Scotia 3. ^Port Hastings 4. ^Environment CanadaCanadian Climate Normals 1971–2000, accessed 16 July 2009
