OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The town of Kailua Kona is the crown jewel
on the island of Hawaii and the beating
heart of the Kona Coast. A sleepy fishing
village not so long ago, Kailua Kona is now
the metropolitan center of West Hawaii’s
burgeoning economy and exploding population.
Founded by King Umi in the 1500’s, Kailua
Kona served as the social, religious and
political capital of Hawaii for several
hundred years. Deeming it the loveliest spot
in all the Hawaiian Islands, King Kamehameha
the Great ruled his island empire during the
final years of his reign from here. |
