Hana at a Glance

Hana, which means "labor" in the Hawaiian language, is a small, isolated, tropical paradise located on the eastern end of Maui at the end of the Road to Hana (Hana Highway). This sleepy 3.5-square mile (9 sq. km) village is characterized by lush greenery, botanical gardens and historical sites and churches. In 1768, Queen Kaahumanu (King Kamehameha’s wife and, after his death, Hawaii’s ruling monarch until 1832) was born here in a cave of Ka'uiki Hill.

In 1849, the first sugar plantation in Hana was raised by George Wilfong, a sea captain. Wilfong hired Chinese laborers to work in his field when he was unable to hire native workers. By 1883, six other sugar plantations were already operating in Hana.

In the 1930s, Paul Fagan helped revive the town when he built a 14,000-acre ranch hotel. Originally called Puu o Haka Hotel, it is now known as Hotel Hana-Maui. The Fagan Memorial Cross, which provides the best vantage view of the town, was erected in his honor. The burial place of the aviator Charles Lindbergh, the Palapala Hoomau Church, can be found a few meters west of Hana.

One of the most thinly-populated areas in Maui, Hana has a total population of 709 based on a 2000 demographic survey. The population density is approximately 326 people per square mile. Hana has a larger group of Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders than most Maui towns. They comprise 39.92% of the population. Other groups who have a significant representation in Hana include Caucasians (13.26), Asians (6.91%) and Hispanics (6.35%). 39.43% were from two or more races.

Hana’s zip code is 96713.
