History

Pākalā Village is also called “Pākalā Camp”, named for the temporary living quarters of plantation workers. Pākalā Camp consisted of employee and retiree housing for workers at the Gay & Robinson sugarcane plantation in the ahupuaʻa of Makaweli, the last remaining sugarcane plantation on Kauai. The plantation was managed by the Robinson family of Kauai and Niihau, who first arrived in Hawaii in 1863.
