The America Ground takes its name from a small area of land in Hastings, England.

In the early 1800s a group of settlers had moved on to the site, claiming immunity from rent, taxes or laws, because as they saw it, the land had recently been sea and had no legal owner or jurisdiction.

The local authorities attempted to evict the settlers and found themselves forcibly thrown out!

The Hastings 'Americans' as they came to be known, flew the Stars and Stripes in direct defiance of The Crown and as a sign of empathy with the American 'Americans' who had gained their own independence within living memory.
