History

During the reign of King Kamehameha I, the island of Kauaʻi was the last of the Hawaiian islands to join Kamehameha’s Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. The ruler, Kaumualii, resisted Kamehameha for years, surviving two attempts to invade Kaua’i.

Anahola is the site of an ancient surfing area, Ka-nahā-wale, which literally translates to “easily broken”.
