HistoryKailua-Kona was established by King Kamehameha I to be his seat of government (he originally was the chief of Kona, before unifying more and more of the archipelago under his rule), and the capital of the newly unified Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. (The capital was later moved to Lāhainā, then, to Honolulu.) Royal fishponds at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park were the hub of unified Hawaiian culture. More recently, this region has undergone a real-estate and construction boom fueled by tourism and investment. GeographyImage:HIMap-doton-KailuaHawaii.PNG Location of Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi
