About Waipahu Hawaii, HI
Waipahu is a former sugarcane plantation town and now census-designated place (CDP)
located in the ʻEwa District on the island of Oʻahu in the City & County of
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, United States. Waipahu is the name of an artesian spring. In
Hawaiian, Waipahu is derived from wai, meaning water, and pahū, meaning "burst
or explode"; combined, Waipahu means "water forced up (as out of a spring)". The
early Native Hawaiians took pleasure in the cool and clear water gushing from
the ground and named this spring Waipahu. Before the Western civilization set
foot in Hawaii, the Hawaiians considered Waipahu to be the capital of Oahu.
Royalty in the Kingdom of Hawaii would often gather and enjoy the fresh water
from the spring Waipahu. In 1973, the City and County of Honolulu and the State
of Hawai'i purchased 40 acres (160,000 m2) opposite the Waipahu sugar mill to
establish the Waipahu Cultural and Garden Park. The park is known today as the
Hawai'i Plantation Village. Hawai'i Plantation Village is a living history
museum located in Waipahu. In 1997, the Governor of Hawaii, Benjamin J. Cayetano,
proclaimed the months of June 1997 through November 1997 to be Waipahu
Centennial Celebration Months. Many activities and events were held to celebrate
the Waipahu Centennial. Waipahu is the home to the 2008 Little League World
Series champions from Waipi'o Little League. They defeated Matamoros, Mexico
12–3 in the final game on August 24, 2008. On August 28, 2010, that same team
won the U.S. championship of the Little League World Series, defeating the team
from Pearland, Texas, but lost to Edogawa Minami LL of Tokyo on August 29, 2010,
in the international championship.
