Iroquois Point, Hawaii

Iroquois Point is a census-designated place (CDP) in Honolulu County, Hawaii, United States, on the island of Oahu near Pearl Harbor.

[3] It is reached from North Road in ʻEwa Beach by turning onto Iroquois Drive.

USS Iroquois, a steam sloop of war commissioned in 1850, was outfitted as a hospital ship to provide care to U.S. sailors aboard vessels anchored in Honolulu Harbor, and it is believed that the ship was anchored near the present Iroquois Point site.

The second USS Iroquois, a commercial steam tug commissioned in 1898, was assigned to Commander F. Merry as part of his operations at Naval Station Honolulu.

Starting in the summer of 2003 this U.S. Navy property was leased to Hunt Building Co. and Fluor Federal Services LLC—a joint venture now operating as Ford Island Properties—in exchange for in-kind construction and infrastructure repairs on Ford Island.

The developers also were allowed to purchase 695 acres (2.81 km2) of housing at Kalaeloa after three years and given outright ownership of the 515-acre (2.08 km2) former Waikele Naval Magazine (Gordon, 2005).

Iroquois Point housing lies directly under the glideslope of runway 8L of Honolulu International Airport.

Neighborhood residents are often witness to large commercial and military jets that land at the airport flying low over the area.

Iroquois Point Elementary School is in the area though it is outside the CDP and has an Ewa Beach postal address.
