The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Hanapēpē was one of the locations visited by the United States Exploring Expedition under Charles Wilkes; the expedition arrived in Hawaii in September 1840 and spent some time in the islands.
Hanapēpē is one of the few towns on Kauai that was not created by sugarcane plantations. In 1924, an armed labor dispute involving sugar workers occurred, ending in the Hanapepe massacre.
