ʻĀhualoa

Land use is for residence and small-scale agriculture, including farming, orchards and livestock.

Instead, in the late 19th and early 20th century it was allocated to families of sugarcane workers as farm homesteads, and remains largely so today.

The original native forest was cleared and replaced by a patchwork of pasture, farms and windbreaks.

A book of material gathered in 2003, Once Upon Ahualoa, explores the experience of this generation with memories and photographs.

During 2008–12, improvements were made to the water supply, supported by federal stimulus funding, including a new deep well at the top of Āhualoa, a 1 million gallon storage tank, and an upgrade of the main waterline to a 12" pipe.
