Koloa

Koloa is often incorrectly translated as native duck, which is the correct translation for the similar-looking koloa. Koloa has no known translation.

Koloa, sometimes called Old Koloa Town or Homestead, was the site of the first sugar plantation in the Hawaiian Islands. King Kamehameha III leased the land to Duncan McBryde in 1835. The remains of the sugar mill along with a plaque to the workers is located across the street from the shops in town.

Every year the town celebrates Koloa Plantation Days which features a parade, fair, music, games, and storytelling. The town got a face-lift in the 1980's with new paint and some restoration, but it still has some of the oldest buildings in Hawaii.

Downtown is centered around a huge banyan tree. South of town, the Koloa Landing was once the main port of entry to the island and was a favorite of the Yankee Pacific whaling fleet. Today the little city boasts numerous specialty shops, restaurants, and a history center.
