Aiea, Census-designated place in Honolulu County, United States.
Aiea is a residential community on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, located near Pearl Harbor Naval Base at a low elevation. The area is home to Pearlridge Center, one of Hawaii's largest shopping complexes for daily retail needs.
The area was once an ancient Hawaiian district ruled by chiefs before becoming a sugar plantation town in the late 1800s. This transformation shaped how the community developed and grew over time.
The name Aiea comes from a native Hawaiian plant and reflects the community's deep roots in the local environment. This heritage remains visible in the way residents connect with the natural surroundings today.
Pearlridge Center is a major enclosed shopping destination with plenty of stores for everyday shopping and dining. The area is easy to explore on foot since it remains relatively flat and accessible.
Commander Thomas Latimore disappeared without explanation while hiking in the local hills in July 1941, and the mystery was never solved. This unsolved case remains part of local stories and the area's past.
