History of Kakaako Kakaako, once a thriving Native Hawaiian agricultural community with terrace cultivation and homes of alii like Kamehameha I, is undergoing a dramatic modernization with towering condos reshaping its skyline.
Originally a key port for foreign trade ships, Kakaako grew crowded by 1850, enabling smallpox brought by sailors to devastate the population, leaving bones often uncovered during modern construction. The area saw a resurgence into the 1950s but shifted as zoning changes favored commercial use, replacing homes with body shops and industrial businesses.
Present & Future:
Today, new Kakaako condos signal a residential revival, echoing its past as a vibrant community while transforming it into a modern urban hub.
