Waialua Sugar Mill

The Waialua Sugar Mill, formally known as the Chamberlain Plantation, was a sugarcane plantation and historical sugar mill, located in the town of Waialua on the North Shore of Oahu.

[2] Gordon died in 1888, and the plantation was managed by the Halstead Brothers, Robert and his two sons, Edgar and Frank.

[3][4] By the end of 1898, a new mill was constructed, and the first crop harvested in 1899, producing 1,741 tons of sugar.

[1] Mechanical loading of harvested cane began to replace manual labor using self-propelled machines in 1920.

[7] Later, the Waialua plantation would co-generate electricity and sell it to local communities, contributing a small percentage to Hawaii's energy production.
