North
Kohala - (population 6,038)
Rural in nature, sprawling ranches and upscale developments
co-exist with small farms and older plantation-style homes.
The district predominantly covers the northern ‘thumb’
of the Big Island and is home to the birthplace of King Kamehameha
and rich in Hawaiian history and untouched natural land formations,
such as the spectacular Pololu Valley.
North Kohala’s charming towns, or villages, are Hawi, Kapaau and the harbor town of Kawaihae. They all have good shopping and restaurants, with many small art galleries as well. Schools are located in Hawi and Kapaau.
