Hana, Maui

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.
