Coconut

Wahi ｜ Location, Hawaiʻi Place Names,

1. Coast, Kapaʻa, Kauaʻi. Name introduced by the visitor industry to identify the coast from Wailua to Keālia. 2. Island, Hilo Bay, Hawaiʻi. A small, flat island in Hilo Bay that is a public park. The island is connected to the Waiākea Peninsula by a footbridge and has been a popular picnic site in Hilo since the late 1800s. Coconut trees have been on the island at least since the early 1800s. Reverend Charles Stewart, who was aboard the HMS Blonde when it entered Hilo Bay in 1824, identified the island as "Cocoanut [sic] Island" in his journal. Also known as Mokuola. 3. Island (28.8 acres, including 6.5 acres of enclosed lagoons), Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu. Christian Holmes, heir to the Fleischmann Yeast fortune, bought the 12-acre island from Bishop Estate in 1933. Over the years he added 16 acres to the island, building a palatial home on it and dredging the surrounding coral reef to create lagoons, fishponds, and a small boat harbor. California businessman Edwin W. Pauley bought the island in 1946 and in 1947 invited the University of Hawaiʻi to establish a marine field station here. In 1965, Pauley donated the money to build the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology's original laboratory on the island. Although Pauley died in 1981, a generous gift from the Pauley Foundation in 1996 allowed the University Foundation to purchase the island and to build a new marine science center and laboratory, the Edwin W. Pauley Marine Laboratory. The island is landscaped with coconut trees, inspiring its popular name, and is surrounded by 64 acres of reef designated by the state as the Hawaiʻi Marine Laboratory Refuge. Also known as Moku o Loʻe.
