OAHU, HAWAII

Oahu, also known as “The Gathering Place”, is the third-largest of the Hawaiian

Islands. It is home to roughly one million people—about two-thirds of the

population of the U.S. state of Hawaii. The island lies within Honolulu County and

the state capital, Honolulu, is on Oahu’s southeast coast.

Including small associated islands such as Ford Island plus those in Kāneʻohe Bay

and off the eastern (windward) coast, its area is 596.7 square miles (1,545.4 km2),

making it the 20th-largest island in the United States.

Oahu is 44 miles (71 km) long and 30 miles (48 km) across. Its shoreline is 227

miles (365 km) long. The island is composed of two separate shield volcanoes:

the Waiʻanae and Koʻolau Ranges, with a broad valley or saddle (the central Oahu

Plain) between them. The highest point is Kaʻala in the Waiʻanae Range, rising to

4,003 feet (1,220 m) above sea level.

The island was home to 953,207 people in 2010 (approximately 72% of the

population of the state, with approximately 81% of those living in or near the

Honolulu urban area). Oahu has for a long time been known as the “Gathering

Place”. The term Oʻahu has no confirmed meaning in Hawaiʻian, other than that

of the place itself. Ancient Hawaiian tradition attributes the name’s origin in the

legend of Hawaiʻiloa, the Polynesian navigator credited with discovery of the

Hawaiian Islands. The story relates that he named the island after his daughter.

Residents of Oahu refer to themselves as “locals” (as done throughout Hawaii), no

matter their ancestry.

The city of Honolulu—largest city, state capital, and main deepwater marine port

for the State of Hawaii — is located here. As a jurisdictional unit, the entire island

of Oahu is in the Honolulu County, although as a place name, Honolulu occupies

only a portion of the southeast end of the island.

Well-known features found on Oahu include Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head,

Hanauma, Kāneʻohe Bay, Kailua Bay, North Shore.

While the entire island is officially the City and County of Honolulu, locals identify

settlements using town names (generally those of the census-designated places),

and consider the island to be divided into various areas, which may overlap. The

most commonly accepted areas are the “City”, “Town” or “Town side”, which

is the urbanized area from Halawa to the area below Diamond Head (residents

HISTORY

The island has been inhabited since at least

3rd century A.D. The 304-year-old Kingdom

of Oʻahu was once ruled by the most ancient

aliʻi in all of the Hawaiian Islands. The first

great king of Oʻahu was Maʻilikūkahi, the

lawmaker, who was followed by many

generation of monarchs. Kualiʻi was the first

of the warlike kings and so were his sons.

In 1773, the throne fell upon Kahahana, the

son of Elani of Ewa. In 1783, Kahekili II, King

of Maui, conquered Oʻahu and deposed

the reigning family and then made his

son, Kalanikūpule, king of O’ahu, turning

O’ahu into a puppet state. Kamehameha

the Great would conquer in the mountain

Kalanikūpule’s force in the Battle of Nuʻuanu.

Kamehameha founded the Kingdom of

Hawaiʻi with the conquest of Oʻahu in 1795.

Hawaiʻi would not be unified until the islands

of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau surrendered under

King Kaumualiʻi in 1810. Kamehameha III

moved his capital from Lāhainā, Maui to

Honolulu, Oʻahu in 1845. ʻIolani Palace, built

later by other members of the royal family, is

still standing, and is the only royal palace on

American soil.

Oahu was apparently the first of the Hawaiian

Islands sighted by the crew of HMS Resolution

on January 19, 1778, during Captain James

Cook’s third Pacific expedition. Escorted

by HMS Discovery, the expedition was

surprised to find high islands this far north

in the central Pacific. Oahu was not actually

visited by Europeans until February 28, 1779,

when Captain Charles Clerke aboard HMS

Resolution stepped ashore at Waimea Bay.

Clerke had taken command of the ship after

James Cook was killed at Kealakekua Bay

(island of Hawaii) on February 14, and was

leaving the islands for the North Pacific.

of the island north of the Koʻolau

Mountains consider the Town Side to be

the entire southern half), “West Oahu”,

which goes from Pearl Harbor to Kapolei,

ʻEwa and may include the Mākaha and

Waiʻanae areas; the “North Shore”

(northwestern coast); the “Windward

Side” (northeastern coast from Kahuku

to Kāneʻohe); the “East Side” or “East

Coast” (the eastern portion of the island,

from Kāneʻohe on the northeast, around

the tip of the island to include much of

the area east of Diamond Head); and

“The Valley” or “Central Oahu” which

runs northwest from Pearl Harbor toward

Haleʻiwa. These terms are somewhat

flexible, depending on the area in which

the user lives, and are used in a mostly

general way, but residents of each area

identify strongly with their part of the

island, especially those outside of widelyknown

towns. For instance, if locals are

asked where they live, they would usually

reply “Windward Oahu” rather than

“Laie”.

Being roughly diamond-shaped,

surrounded by ocean and divided by

mountain ranges, directions on Oahu

are not generally described with the

compass directions found throughout

the world. Locals instead use directions

originally using Honolulu as the central

point. To go ʻewa means traveling toward

the western tip of the island, “Diamond

Head” is toward the eastern tip, mauka

is inland (toward the central Koʻolau

Mountain range, north of Honolulu)

and makai toward the sea. When these

directions became common, Diamond

Head was the eastern edge of the

primary populated area. Today, with a

much larger populace and extensive

development, the mountain itself is often

not actually to the east when directions

are given, and is not to be used as a literal

point of reference—to go “Diamond

Head” is to go to the east from anywhere

on the island.

Oahu is also known for having the longest

rain shower in history, which lasted for

200 consecutive days. Kāneʻohe Ranch

reported 247 straight days with rain from

August 27, 1993 to April 30, 1994. The

island has many nicknames one of them

being “rainbow state.” This is because

rainbows are a common sight in Hawaiʻi

due to the frequent rain showers. The

average temperature in Oahu is around

70–85 °F (21–29 °C) and the island is the

warmest in June through October. The

weather during the winter is cooler, but

still warm with an average temperature

of 68–78 °F (20–26 °C).

The windward side is known for some of

the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Lanikai Beach on the windward coast

of Oahu has been consistently ranked

among the best beaches in the world.

With the discovery of the Hawaiian

Islands came the introduction of

disease, mosquitoes, and aggressive

foreign animals. Although indirect,

the simple exposure to these foreign

species caused permanent damage

to the Native Hawaiian people and

environment.

The Imperial Japanese Navy’s

attack on Pearl Harbor, Oahu on

the morning of December 7, 1941

brought the United States into

World War II. The surprise attack was

aimed at destroying the American

will to fight and make them sue for

peace immediately by attacking the

Pacific Fleet of the United States

Navy and its defending Army Air

Forces and Marine Air Forces. The

attack damaged or destroyed twelve

American warships, destroyed 188

aircraft, and resulted in the deaths

of 2,335 American servicemen and

68 civilians (of those, 1,177 were the

result of the destruction of the USS

Arizona alone).

Today, Oahu has become a tourism

and shopping haven. Over five million

visitors (mainly from the contiguous

United States and Japan) flock there

every year to enjoy the island.

THINGS TO DO

Kayaking

Visitors to Lanikai can kayak to the nearby twin

islands, both noted bird sanctuaries. The larger of

the two islands is very popular with the boaters,

kayakers, surfers, paddlers and sailors. Its small

beach is visited daily and especially on weekends

and holidays, when people land, swim or picnic. The

islands are a little less than a mile from the south

end of Lanikai Beach. Do not attempt the crossing

if you are not experienced in the ocean. The

crossing is a long upwind and upcurrent swim for

novice swimmers. The islands are located seaward

of Lanikai Reef, where they are subject to high surf,

especially during the winter months. Be careful

walking on the windward sides of both islands

Diamond Head Hike

The 0.7-mile hike up Diamond Head is considered

a moderate climb.

It’ll take about an hour to reach the summit, and

half that time for the return. The trail climbs the

inside slope of Diamond Head for about 0.6 miles.

It’s a switchback trail with the mountain on one

side and a railing on the other. After a lookout

point that doubles as a rest stop, the trail takes a

steep upward ascent through a series of stairs and

tunnels. The last set of stairs is a 99-step climb—

just take it slow and steady—that eventually leads

to a World War II bunker. From there, the stairs

reach an end and you step up to some of the

finest panoramic views on Oahu. Take a short walk

around and savor the moment. On a clear day, you

see forever. Standing atop the lookout, viewing

Oahu’s entire leeward side, feeling the trade winds

and hearing waves crashing far below, one can’t

help but feel humbled to be on this glorious island.

Fun Facts

• Oahu is 44 miles long, 30 miles wide, 112 miles around and is the third-largest island in the Hawaiian chain of

132 islets, atolls and reefs stretching from kure atoll in the northwest to the big island of Hawaii in the southeast.

• Honolulu is the largest city in the world. That is because Hawaii’s State Constitution states that any island not

named as belonging to a county belongs to Honolulu. This makes the entire island of Oahu, where Honolulu

is located, plus all the other small, uninhabited islands, islets and atolls part of Honolulu. Honolulu is about

1,500 miles long. It would span from Los Angeles, California to Denver, Colorado. How many people know that

Oahu fun fact?

• Lolani Palace, located in downtown Honolulu, is the only Royal Palace in the United States.

• Lolani Palace had electricity 4 years before

the White House, Windsor Palace and the

Imperial Palace of Japan. It had the first

telephone system in Honolulu and was the

first palace in the world to install flush toilets.

It also had copper lined bathtubs built

to accommodate monarchs of Royal proportions;

The queens tub is 6.5 feet long

and the King’s tub is 7 feet long.

• Oahu is home to the world’s largest wind

generator. The windmill is located on the

top of a 20 story tower. It has two blades,

each measuring 400 feet in length.

• Foster Botanical Garden near Iolani Palace

was built in 1855, which makes it the oldest

garden in Hawaii.

• Foster Botanical Garden has earned national

recognition for it’s Prehistoric Glen.

The Glen contains some of the oldest plant

forms on Earth. Some of these plants are

from the dinosaur age. Each plant is organized

and displayed in chronological order.

• Honolulu is the second most expensive city

made popular on the north shore of Oahu

in Laie. It was a unique greeting representing

a famous leader Hamana Kalilii a local

leader who lost three fingers from his

right hand in an industrial accident. When

he waved at somebody, it looked like the

hang loose sign.

• Hawaii is the only State in the United States

that continually grows larger. This is due to

volcanic activity that flows into the ocean

and cools and forms new land.

• In 1884, King Kamehameha V offered to

sell a strip of land running from downtown

Honolulu to Diamond Head to Eliza Sinclair,

a rancher’s widow from New Zealand,

for $10,000.00. She looked at the land and

turned him down because the land wasn’t

fit to raise cattle. This priceless land is now

known as Waikiki.

Byodo-In Temple

TThe Byodo-In Temple is a non-denominational temple located

on the island of O’ahu in Hawai’i at the Valley of the

Temples. It was dedicated in August 1968 to commemorate

the 100-year anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants

to Hawaii. The temple is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist

temple at Uji in Kyoto prefecture of Japan. Contrary

to popular belief, it is not a functioning Buddhist temple

in the proper sense as it does not host a resident monastic

community nor an active congregation. Inside the Byodo-

In Temple is a 18 ft (5.5 m) statue of the Lotus Buddha, a

wooden image depicting Amitabha. It is covered in gold

and lacquer. Outside is a three-ton, brass peace bell. Surrounding

the temple are large koi ponds that cover a total

of two acres (8,000 m²). Around those ponds are lush Japanese

gardens set against a backdrop of towering cliffs of

the Ko’olau mountains. The gardens are home to sparrows

and peacocks. The temple covers 11,000 sq ft (1,000 m2).

The Byodo-In Temple is visited and used by thousands of

worshipers from around the world. It welcomes people of

all faiths to participate in its traditions. Apart from worship,

the temple grounds are also used for weddings and office

meetings.

Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden

The Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden (approximately 400

acres) is a botanical garden located at 45-680 Luluku Road,

Kāne’ohe, Oahu, Hawaii. It is part of the Honolulu Botanical

Gardens, and is open daily, without charge, except for

Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

The garden was established in 1982, and designed and

built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers for

flood protection. It is a rainforest garden, with plantings

from major tropical regions around the world, grouped into

distinct collections that focus on Africa, Hawaii, India and

Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Melanesia, the Philippines, Polynesia,

and the tropical New World. Special emphasis is placed on

conserving plants native to Hawaii and Polynesia, as well as

arecaceae, aroids, and heliconias.

The garden includes a lake (32 acres) and walking trails, as

well as a day use area, campgrounds, and a visitor center

with lecture room, exhibition hall, workshop, and botanical

library.

Lanikai Beach

Nestled in the sleepy beach town of Kailua on Oahu’s Windward side, Lanikai Beach is

one of Hawaii’s most picturesque and famous beaches. An offshore reef keeps the water

calm year-round, offering excellent swimming conditions from January to December.

Less than a mile offshore are two small islands that house bird sanctuaries and those

looking for an adventure can easily reach the islands by kayak. Other water sports to

enjoy on the clear-blue waters include snorkeling (reef fish and sea turtles are common

sights), sailing and windsurfing, while half a mile of fine white sand is the perfect setting

for sunbathing. Beachgoers should note that parking is limited, as Lanikai Beach is sandwiched

between residential housing.

Kailue Beach Park

Located approximately one mile up the road from Lanikai Beach, Kailua Beach Park

often is cited as one of Hawaii’s best beaches. With nearly three miles of light-colored

sand and crystal-clear water, the park is the perfect spot to spend the day. While many

enjoy playing in the gentle waves or learning how to windsurf, the 35-acre beach park

also boasts a volleyball court and ample picnic areas where families can relax in the

shade with a refreshing treat from local eatery Island Snow, a favorite spot of President

Obama. Other nearby establishments are perfect for picking up a quick lunch or souvenir,

or choose to spend a bit more time and book a room at one of the many local bed

and breakfasts or vacation rentals in the area.

Hanauma Bay

Hanauma is a marine embayment formed within a tuff ring and located along the southeast

coast of the Island of Oʻahu in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood of East Honolulu, in

the Hawaiian Islands.

Hanauma is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Island and has suffered

somewhat from overuse. At one time, this popular tourist destination accommodated

over three million visitors per year. In 1956, dynamite was used to clear portions of the

reef to make room for telephone cables linking Hawaii to the west coast of the US.

corals (Acropora spp.). Some of the corals at the Waikiki

Aquarium are over 30 years old.

The Waikiki Aquarium was the second aquarium in the

world, and the first in the United States, to maintain the

chambered nautilus (Nouméa Aquarium was first) and the

first in the world to produce viable Nautilus embryos.

Waikiki Aquarium

The Waikiki Aquarium is an aquarium in Honolulu, Hawaii,

United States. Founded in 1904, it is the second oldest public

aquarium in the United States. Since 1919, the Waikiki

Aquarium has been an institution of the University of Hawaii

at Manoa.

Built next to a living coral reef on the Waikiki shoreline, the

Waikiki Aquarium is home to more than 3,500 organisms of

490 species of marine plants and animals. Each year, over

330,000 people visit, and over 30,000 schoolchildren participate

in the Aquarium’s education activities and programs.

The Waikiki Aquarium was designated a Coastal Ecosystem

Learning Center of the Coastal America Partnership federal

program.

Other “firsts” for the Waikiki Aquarium were displays of the

blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) ca. 1957;

broadclub cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) in 1978; a mahimahi

hatchery and exhibit (Coryphaena hippurus) in 1991; and

the giant clam (Tridacna gigas) in 1979. The largest giant

clam at the Waikiki Aquarium was acquired from the Micronesian

Mariculture Demonstration Center in Palau in June

1982 and was estimated to be five-years old at that time.

At 38 years old in 2016, it is the longest-lived giant clam in

any aquarium in the world.

The Waikiki Aquarium has won national awards for its exhibits

and aquatic culture methods: Association of Zoos

and Aquarium (AZA) Bean Award for Nautilus propagation

(1991); AZA/Munson Conservation Award for “Corals are

Alive” exhibition (1999); AZA/Munson Conservation Exhibit

Award (2003); and the AZA Bean Award for the “South

Pacific Habitat” exhibition (2003).

The Waikiki Aquarium developed the first displays of living

Pacific corals in the United States in 1978 using water from

a seawater well and natural sunlight. A special surge device

was developed later to allow culture of staghorn and table

than two million people annually. Accessible only by boat, it straddles

the sunken hull of the battleship without touching it. Historical

information about the attack, shuttle boats to and from the memorial,

and general visitor services are available at the associated USS Arizona

Memorial Visitor Center, which opened in 1980 and is operated by the

National Park Service. The battleship’s sunken remains were declared

a National Historic Landmark on May 5, 1989.

The USS Arizona Memorial is one of several sites in Hawaii and

elsewhere that are part of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National

Monument.

Pearl Harbor

USS Arizona Memorial

The USS Arizona Memorial, at Pearl Harbor in

Honolulu, Hawaii, marks the resting place of

1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on

USS Arizona (BB-39) during the Japanese surprise

attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and

commemorates the events of that day. The attack

on Pearl Harbor and the island of Oʻahu led to

the United States’ direct involvement in World

War II.

The memorial, built in 1962, is visited by more

Design

The national memorial was designed by Honolulu architect Alfred

Preis who was detained at Sand Island at the start of the war as an

enemy of the country because of his Austrian birth. ] The United

States Navy specified the memorial be in the form of a bridge floating

above the ship and accommodating 200 people.

The 184-foot-long structure has two peaks at each end connected

by a sag in the center of the structure. It represents the height of

American pride before the war, the nation’s sudden depression after

the attack and the rise of American power to new heights after the

war. Critics initially called the design a “squashed milk carton”

The architecture of the USS Arizona Memorial is explained by Preis

as, “Wherein the structure sags in the center but stands strong and

vigorous at the ends, expresses initial defeat and ultimate victory ...

The overall effect is one of serenity. Overtones of sadness have been

omitted to permit the individual to contemplate his own personal

responses ... his innermost feelings.”

4) Iolani Palace

Heading east on King Street, walk through the main

business district until you reach Iolani Palace, the only

royal palace standing on American soil. The palace

served as the royal residence for Hawaii’s last two

monarchs, King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani.

Guided tours are available here five days a week.

5) State Capitol Building

Behind the palace is the State Capitol Building,

where the governor and state legislature fight their

political battles. The building opened in 1969 and

remains a unique work of architecture. The coneshaped

chambers symbolize Hawaii’s volcanoes, and

the building columns are reminiscent of palm trees.

The large pool of water surrounding the building

symbolizes the fact that Hawaii is the only island state

in the U.S.

6) King Kamehameha Statue

Across the street from Iolani Palace is the Kamehameha

statue, which fronts Honolulu’s old judicial building.

The bronze statue stands eight feet and six inches

high (not including the 10-foot-high base). Every June

11 on King Kamehameha Day, the statue is adorned

with beautiful floral leis, some as long as 18 feet in

length.

7) Mission Houses Museum

Cross Punchbowl Street to find the Mission Houses

Museum, where the first American Protestant

missionaries established their headquarters in 1820.

The structures you see here include the oldest

surviving Western-style buildings in the state. They

house a treasure trove of original artifacts, including

furniture, books, quilts and other household items that

once belonged to missionary families.

Understand What

Chiropractic Care Does!

Many of the un-wanted conditions that people suffer from everyday can be traced

back to spinal mis-alignment or subluxation & nerve system interference. Doctors

of Chiropractic are specialist in the detection, correction and prevention of nerve

system interference. Chiropractic makes sense, it’s scientific, incredibly safe, it’s

natural and looks to cover the underlying cause of your problem.
