Lanai Cities and Villages
The island of Lanai has only one major town. It is called Lanai City, but in reality it is a small, sleepy town with a population of about 3,160. Most Lanai residents live here, in the central part of the island.
There are a few more homes on the island’s south shore, but other than that the cities listed here are ancient Hawaiian fishing villages and people no longer live there.
