Holualoa, Hawaii

Art, Culture and History in the Heart of Kona's Coffee Country

A Fertile Past

Holualoa has a rich past, dating back to the Hawaiian Kingdom when it was originally established as an agricultural area because of its fertile soil and ample rainfall. The area has been dominated by coffee since it was first planted here in 1828, although sugar cane was grown here from the early twentieth century through the '30s. Many of the early buildings from when Mamalahoa Highway was the primary thoroughfare around the island still stand are in use today. Twenty informational signs throughout the historic corridor mark noteworthy buildings.
